Fastest way to VB???

Is it faster to get to Virginia Beach from somd by going down 95 or turning left at Horne's and going that route??

TIA

I vote 95. 17 is shorter, but 95 is higher speed. They actually take just about the same amount of time.

95 is faster in speed, but you figure you have to go down to Richmond then take Rt 64, whereas it's quicker to get on 17.

17 is about 18 miles shorter, but the higher speeds on 95 make it about 15 minutes faster.

I prefer 17 because of the speed traps

I prefer 17 because except for the potomac river bridge, traffic is a rare thing.

skip 17, too many lights and traps. Take 33 to 64. What ever is the route to get to 64.

*putting on her "driver hat"*

301(s) to 17(s) to 33(towards West Point...don't stop and drool at the cadets, you"ll get in trouble) to 64(e) to Va Beach

If you keep your speed at 60 when the speed limit is 55, you should be ok with speed traps....Make sure that when you are going thru Tappahannock, you do the posted speed....other than that, you should be good
