    Uuummm, naah!

    Use your head in this scenario.

    Force your GPS to avoid internal DC, from the top side.

    Depending on the destination location, wrt to the 495 loop, I always enter thru the nearest "piercing point" along 495 loop.

    Less head ache, quick in/out

    In 1975 as a young man, I was going into DC. I thought the GW Parkway looked like a good route to take. I was informed by a nice trouper that I had no business on that road and he informed me how to get my big rig off of the Parkway.

    I know he was a nice man because he didn't give the kid a ticket

    Don't know the best route cause I never went back:)
