.... and state highways. The fact is the speed limit, which is set at 55 miles per hour around the area, causes many problems and traffic. The traffic in the Washington, DC metropolitan area is one of the worst in the United States. Especially on highway 66 where there is always a lot of traffic because people are worried about going the right speed due to all the highway patrol on the road.
