Aug-21-01, 05:27 PM (EST) 5. "RE: Ridin the yellows activity; go slower" I found the secret to arriving at the BWI station is to go slower. The trick is to go slow enough to allow the first couple of signals to turn green.Driving fast only gets you into a long block at a reduced speed.Using this method, I have been able to arrive at BWI station up to 2 minutes early.However, the same trick does not work to Baltimore. Leaving BWI on scheduled time, the best I have been able to do is 57 seconds late. This is without breaking any speed limits.I would be interested to learn if it is possible to arrive in Baltimore on time without speeding. Please share how to do it.
