Google's maps lets you move routes around now! So I can design my own route, and plan alternate ones in case of traffic.

Home to Work, a much better one than the one I was using in order to avoid traveling on Wisconsin. (too many red lights, Wisconsin Ave.)

Shall try this out tomorrow. Here's the hoping 46th and Massachusetts isn't too bad. Now if I could only find an alternative to River Rd... (stupid one-lane potomac roads... I swear, as much as I love the trees, sometimes the traffic gets a bit more than irritating.)

Oh man, I hope this AT&T Nationals thing (some golf event in our area) won't cause truly massive delays on River Rd. and Falls Rd.

(Hmmm, I could map out the bike routes I take using this too, and figure out how far I travel...)

Hm. It honestly hasn't been too bad this week. There's a few points at which the traffic slows to 10-15 miles per hour, but aside from those intersections, it typically flows well. I think the Beltway might be scarier for me when I'm not entirely awake in the mornings... and traffic jams there would be hard to get around. While on River Road, you can sneak into a side street and get lost for a bit...

Indeed. Why is it that people don't use their turn signals? Especially when changing langes? Really, oh, silly people. If you want to merge into my lane, use the turn signal and I'll let you. If you start swirving towards me, I promise you, there's a 80% chance I'll speed up and cut you off.
