The road that surrounds Washington, DC, is called "the beltway."
You'll hear frequent reference to the beltway in American politics.
For example: "Beltway insider" is used to refer politicians.
"You've been inside the beltway too long" means you think and act like a politician and have forgotten what's it's like to be a normal person.
