NOVA traffic can eat a dick

[John]

Somebody tell me the best way to get from work (Rockville) to home (Arlington). I can do it in under a half hour in the morning, but it's usually like an hour 15 on the way back at rush hour (270-495-66, which I'm sure you guys will tell me are the worst three roads to take).

Where in Arlington are you? You should probably be taking GW Parkway home, not 495 all the way to 66...

Right inside the beltway - exit 69 off 66, about a mile from the East Falls Church metro.

Then you should take the Clara Barton Parkway towards DC, cross Chain Bridge, go down Glebe, and then take a right on to Williamsburg, which will turn into Sycamore (exit 69).
