SHA should have placed a barrier so drivers would be forced into a single lane leading to Show Place Arena. The traffic problem stems from drivers clogging up BOTH lanes and trying to merge. If I were driving to Calvert County and had to contend with this problem every evening, I'd be truly aggravated. Trying to circumvent by driving through the town of Upper Marlboro is even worse.
