  Inside the Beltway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Inside the Beltway" is a phrase used to characterize parts of the real or imagined American political system.
It refers to the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495), a beltway that encircles Washington, D.C., and is meant to invoke matters that are important primarily within the offices of the Federal government, its contractors, lobbyists, and the media which cover them.
This phrase is often used to mean the rough equivalent of possessing inside knowledge about American governance and the workings of American representative democracy, or having access to corridors of political power.

 Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the basis of the phrase "inside the Beltway", used when referring to issues dealing with American government and politics.
Interstate 95 utilizes the southern and eastern half of the Capital Beltway to circumnavigate Washington, D.C., and is cosigned with Interstate 495 along that route.
After the eastern half of the Beltway was renumbered in 1977 as Interstate 95, exits on the Maryland portion were renumbered to the current format, counterclockwise with exit numbers assigned to mileposts.
