Seat belts are required at all times while driving on base.  Parking of motor vehicles is authorized only in those areas/spaces designated for parking.  If a vehicle operator (military or civilian) is stopped by Security Police for a traffic violation or routine identification check, full cooperation with the patrol officer or gate guard is required by producing any and all identification.

Pedestrians in crosswalks have the right of way; however, they should not step into crosswalks in the path of approaching vehicles when such action would require emergency braking on the part of the vehicle operator.  Pedestrians must consider surface road conditions prior to entering the crosswalk.

Parking
The blue parking spaces on the Washington Navy Yard are reserved for visitors.  If you anticipate parking on the Yard longer than three hours, please stop by the Naval District Washington Parking Control Office to obtain a temporary parking permit.

Security Checks
Conducted randomly on each shift at one of the gates. These are visual checks of your vehicle, not searches. If the vehicle operator does not allow the security police officer to inspect the vehicle, entry to the base may be denied.

Metrorail and Metrobus
The Washington Metro is known as "America's Subway" and is considered one of the very best in the world. It's the heart of Washington's public transportation system. The rapid rail moves commuters throughout the region. Five Metrorail lines, each marked with its own color, connect the District to Northern Virginia and Maryland. Travel from one area to the next is convenient and affordable. The Metrobus is designed to complement the Metrorail and offers more than 400 routes and 10,000 bus stops.

The N22 Metro bus operates Monday through Friday with three stops on the Washington Navy Yard.  From the Navy Yard Metro Station, the N22 buses will loop through the Navy Yard and continue to the Eastern Market Metro Station.  From the Eastern Market Metro Station, buses will loop through the Navy Yard and continue to the Navy Yard Metro Station.

The green line stops approximately one mile from the Anacostia Naval Station. Upon exit from the Metro station, transfer to the W-9 Metro Bus. The W-9 only operates during peak rush hour periods. Morning Rush: 0613-0836 & Evening Rush: 1526-1843. During non-peak hours, take the A-8 Metro bus or the A-9 Metro bus (or any "A" Metro bus) from Martin Luther King Avenue to Portland Street. From Martin Luther King Avenue & Portland Street, transfer to the W-4 Bolling AFB Metro bus.
