Around DC from NY to WDW, 495 East or West?

Which way has less traffic (unfortunately we must go thru DC mid afternoon when there is generally heavy traffic), 495 East or West?

We let Waze decide.

Honestly, you just never know; I agree, let Waze (or Google Maps) decide.

I live just outside the Beltway to the West so I go that way no matter what. It's truly a crap shoot though, especially during busy times of the day.
