Get around Fredericksburg (Virginia)
Downtown Fredericksburg is a walking city - the sidewalks are wide, inviting, and mostly paved in brick. Many locals frequent the streets as well as the occasional street musician.
Biking downtown can be fun, but stay off the sidewalks and be sure to follow the traffic laws.
Taking the local bus (known as the Fred) is convenient and inexpensive. There are stops throughout downtown, at all major surrounding shopping locations, and most local subdivisions. Racks on the front of the buses allow you to take a bike along for the ride. Fare is 50 cents for adults, children under three ride free. Schedules and route planning can be found at the official website, ridefred.com
Driving is a good option. Downtown roads are largely straightforward aside from some non-standard intersections and one-way streets; outside the city numerous signs point to places of interest and major through ways. If possible, avoid driving during rush hour as traffic is intolerable, especially on I-95, US-1, US-3, and US-17. There is plenty of free parking downtown, either on the street or in the many public lots (PDF map available here: ). During normal business hours (8AM-5PM), much of the street parking has a two-hour time limit, after which cars will be ticketed. A city parking garage is located at 600 Sophia Street, parking there is free for the first two hours. After that, the rates vary, but they are roughly $1 per hour, $8 or less per day (full details at the Fredericksburg city website ).
