And if you do go 75, keep an eye out for the VA gendarmerie who enforce 55MPH fanatically on that road (mostly gray Crown Vics with blue lights).

However, unlike NY where you usually can get 10 or 15 minutes extra on either side of the prohibited time, the DC parking nazis will start giving out the tickets while the spot is still legal, frequently about 5 to 10 minutes before the restriction is due to start.
