[Novalug] Traffic is very bad on 495 north

[William Sutton]

Beltway traffic jams after 9 PM are usually construction, and will only 
last as long as the HOT lanes exist... :-D

The beltway isn't usually too bad between about 7 PM and 9 PM on weekdays, 
unless someone does something stupid.  The situation also tends to improve 
between when school lets out and starts back up.

So in theory, it's not too bad between 7 PM and 9 PM during weekdays 
through June-August, assuming no-one crashed between 66 and 270.
