The sign is actually confusing. The first time I drove that way I missed the tunnel entrance because the sign had led me to expect something more conspicuous.

But 50 IS a freeway outside the Beltway: 65 limit, HOV lanes, the lot. The only way you know you're not on an interstate is the exits aren't numbered. Brought to you by the State of Maryland. (29 has freeway-like stretches, but not so close to Washington.) The problem with NY Ave. is the freeway ends, but the traffic flow it generates continues. The task is to reduce that flow; signage is a second order issue. Closing 395 between NY Ave. and Mass. Ave. has been suggested and will help some, I think (and will get that sign down, too!).
