THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Looking for a little help. Monday I should be starting a new job in Baltimore, right at 695 & 40. Until I find a place to stay or a roommate, I will be commuting from Frederick near Ft. Detrick. I will be working a Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm desk job. I figures I'll take an hour most night to find a place or chase leads.

Any idea how long the drive will be and when I should be leaving Frederick in the AM? What is the traffic like?

Thanks!

You'll be with the flow going in and with the flow going out. The drive home will be slightly better, except for Fridays, but they'll be considerably better Friday mornings.

Getting there at 8 means you'll be with the beginning of the peak and leaving at 5 you'll be in the thick of the worst!


1.5ish is my estimate. West side sux.

695 & 40. There are 2 of them you know. Are you talking Rosdale or Catonsville? If it is Rosedale you better plan for a 2 hour commute both ways.

Yeah, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Don't think he would live in Frederick and commute to Whitemarsh.

Looks like that is what I will be doing for a while.

I need to find someplace cheap to live nearby.

With you leaving Frederick at 6AM, you might only hit a slow down around 70 and 29 and 70 and 695. That first leg should take 35-40 minutes, it's the beltway to Middle River that'll take the other 1-1.5hr.

Your best bet is 70 east to 695 south to 95 north (toll) to 695 east to 40 north/east


Yeah, still 2 hours or just under.


You'd be better renting a plane from Frederick Municipal to Martin State!
