Oh no? I guess that depends on how you define DC tie-ups. For someone going north to New Jersey during the holidays, the traffic doesn't start to clear until about 1/2 hour north of the tunnels in Baltimore.

you're absolutely right...but we baltimoreans don't like being thought of as a suburb of dc, so our traffic tie-ups are our own, thank you very much.
