what is the best time to drive through dc?
Rush hour is Monday through Friday, from 6 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. What is weekend traffic like in Washington D.C.? Downtown near the monuments and landmarks will be a little rough but livable, with some roads potentially shut down if there is a parade or demonstration going on.
