Getting around Baltimore

As stated traffic conditions can change quickly. Avoid rush hour and take I-695 west to go the around Baltimore to I-83 North. Be careful at the I-83 interchange, stay in the right lane and watch signs carefully.
It is not a bad drive if traffic isn't too bad.

Because traffic conditions change all the time, we simply follow Google Maps on our iPhone, which is traffic enabled, and tells you the fastest route live.

I-64 to I-95 to US 301 (exit 104, stay in right lane) to US 50 East to I-97 North to I-695 West (right lanes off of I-97)to I-83 North. Its best to take the PA Turnpike East to avoid Harrisburg, exit at I-223 North to 322 East to 422 East....You will see the signs.....hope this helps.....17 to 301 is also a nice ride.

We just used the Rt 3 to 301 to I-97 to get to Baltimore from the Lexington Park area and it was a good road with not too much traffic on it.

Will be traveling around Baltimore from south to north ( 3south to I 83 north). Looks like can go west side or east side. Coming up from Williamsburg and going to Hershey. Any suggestions would be appreciated. It has already been suggested that we use 17to 301 around the east side of D.C. Thanks

Time of day is critical -- do not try to contend with anything near rush hour or Sunday afternoon.
