Downtown Baltimore Traffic Hazards
The area around St Paul Pl and Orleans St is a known traffic hotspot due to its proximity to major medical centers, commuter routes, and city landmarks. Accidents in this region often involve congestion, quick merges, and confused navigation by unfamiliar drivers.
