    Traffic was actually quite minimal. I took 695 to I-70. There was two crashes there though, a truck jacknifed on the 695 north ramp.. and a 4 wheeler slid into the ditch on I 70.
    Well, I live in kentucky.. the furthest west I've ever gone is dallas, TX.. and the furthest east I've ever been was Cincinnati, ohio.. until yesterday.

    I understand.

    Family in maryland says they have been locked down still so the traffic patterns would not be normal and pretty much as you stated. These are not normal times. I understand west coast roads are so wide open people are taking the cars too fast.

    That's pretty much what I have heard too.. that CHP has issued 80% more speeding tickets than last year, and the majority of them was for triple digit speeds.

    Ok, I don’t mind you saying that about Beirut on the Bay, but leave the eastern shore out of it. That’s MD’s Dixie. :cool:

    I have always thought the "East Coast" was basically east of I-75 from Atlanta to Its intersection of I-40 then on to I 81 all the way to NY. I also have heard it described as a point 150 miles west of I 95 eastward.

    Depends on where you are. When I was in Oregon many locals considered my home state of Arkansas to be "East Coast."
