I'm with you. And people speed on it like crazy. Yesterday I was trying to get on it via Waterside Drive and I had to get up to 50+ mph just to keep up with the flow of traffic.

Admittedly, it's not usually that bad, but still.

Edit: Damn... tough crowd today. Can someone at least explain to me why they find my post so objectionable, instead of just downvoting?

Because it is very unbelievable that you had to get up to 50+ mph to keep up with the flow of traffic. I have never experienced speeds anywhere close to 50 mph through many years of using Rock Creek Parkway on my commute.

I definitely have experienced traffic going that fast, esp south of Calvert. Farther north the narrowness of the lanes tends to slow traffic. I have seen cars off the road and even in the creek a few times. Stay safe out there everyone!

Completely agreed with you and OP, not sure what the negativity is here. People drive way above the speed limit then slow down suddenly for curves in the road, it's messy!
