You're going the wrong way. You want to pick up 301 just north of
Richmond, and take it up through that part of Virginia, over the Potomac
River, and into Southern Maryland. It's much less congested,

The last time I was up there that whole LaPlata/Waldorf area was so
built up it was like driving US 19 through Largo/Clearwater.
When I lived there we had less than a half dozen lights from TB to
Aqua land. Now there are than many in the mile around the Rt 5/301
intersection

IF we are driving up from "da Souf," I get off of 301 N *before* that,
and pick up Route 5 again on the eastern edge of the congestion, and
then cross over the Patuxent River. You certainly are correct about the
301/5 intersection area. Once you are out of that area, if you are
heading to the Beltway and North, you can take Route 4 north. Outside of
the weekday morning rush hour, it's pretty decent.
