I'm glad Obama is going to the White House and all, but it looks like inauguration day traffic in and around DC is going to be horrid. I'm glad I'll be nowhere near DC on Jan. 20!
Here's just a few quotes from local media and county notices.
"To prepare for this event, pretend a hurricane is coming during that weekend and expect large crowds, congestion, traffic and many delays. Getting around will be difficult at best so a common sense approach will be important. Be informed, make a plan, be prepared."
I survived Hurricanes Gustav and Hanna this year. They were nowhere near as problematic as the inauguration sounds.
"If you must drive, be sure to have a full tank of gas before you leave, or you may become stranded while waiting in traffic."
If the inauguration is anything like a hurricane the local gas stations will run out of gas before the inauguration even begins.
"A staggering number of traffic restrictions has been announced for the day Barack Obama takes the oath as president. The following provides road closures, vehicular restricted zones, public transportation and pedestrian routes:" Every bridge over every river into and out of the city as well as every major and minor roadway will be closed from 2 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Sounds like a WFH (work from home) day to me!
