Silver Spring
Timing and Precautions
Silver Spring is hectic during rush hour, which lasts from 7:30 am to 9 am and 5 pm to 6:30 pm on weekdays, thanks to its prime location as a residence for D.C. commuters as well as its status as a business hub that brings even more commuters in. Avoid the roads and take the Metrorail when possible.
