 traffic and weather on the 8th to carlos ramirez in the wtop traffic center and you know it is definitely a travel day so if you're headed on 50 making your way back from the eastern shore you're going to see plenty of brake lights especially as you make your approach towards a 301 50 split we're talking about a broken down vehicle blocking your way if you're headed westbound soon after the 301 50 merge you should have at least one lane blocked here's the thing though
