I did it twice a month from 78 to 91
17 was almost always faster.
there were times when you could go 30 or so mile and not see another car.

I have been doing it 2-3 times a month for 8 years (got an '04 with 80K because of it!). The real answer is, it depends. Time of day, day of the week, time of the year. I never use 95 in the summer. Too much traffic. I also try to get to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel before 2PM or after 7PM as it is almost always backed up. 17 is shorter by ~18 miles, faster in the summer. They have also raised the speed limit between Port Royal (Horne's) and Gloucester County line to 60 in most areas. 64MPH is safe.

I have made that trip atleast 150 times and I hate 95 any given day or time:jameo:

I very seldom do the HRBT because I am usually going to chesapeake. so its the JRBT/ M/M bridge

In My Opinion
I used 17 to go to Va Beach on the last holiday weekend, I did not hit one bit of traffic.
the normal slowdowns in the towns, but no traffic until I got to the bridge coming home.

I've been either on the back of a bike or in my car since Thrustday. Got myself a nice alcohol induced tail pipe burn on my calf before I even left town:dork:

I opted for Route 17 becuase I hate driving so fast I can't see the road signs and dodging retards and schrapnel(sic) on the highway.:rolleyes: I made it to the opera house with ten minutes to spare to change my clothes in the back of my car and brush out my hair. It was a lovely ballet:dork:

Drove through the smokey haze and dust clouds through North Carolina got back to the beach looking like a raccoon:lol:

My buttock are literally bruised from the narrow seat and I have a farmer's tan. :ohwell: At least now I have more riding time in this year than my 11 year old does now:yahoo:

Is that the Williamport exit?. We came through there at 8:54 pm and stopped for burgers at the Wendy's at the next exit. Once we got back on 70, DE asked me which exit was yours.

Anyhow after sitting at a complete stop on the beltway for over an hour, we finally arrived home at 12:50 am. Of course this was after our stop for refreshments at Tony Baden's. :buddies:

Thank gawd I took tomorrow off .

Everytime I come home from VA Beach by using 95, I always get stuck in traffic or 1+ hours. I never learn to take 17 back home.
