Visitor & Driver Tips

Because 20th Street NW is a one-way southbound street, drivers should plan their approach route in advance—using N Street NW or Sunderland Place to turn onto 20th. Morning rush hours (8:00 AM – 9:30 AM) and evening departure windows (4:30 PM – 6:00 PM) see heavy vehicular and bicycle traffic on adjacent M Street; allowing extra navigation time is recommended. If you plan to attend evening events or dine late in Dupont Circle, be sure to confirm garage closing times upon entry, or reserve in advance through parking apps like SpotHero to ensure after-hours gate access.
