I drove quite a few times in downtown Baltimore which I have no problem, Fells Point area which is a nice bar district. West of Baltimore is I think you must avoid. The best resource is to figure out your passenger and tell them that you're not from the area,that you just did a drop off, and ask them which areas to avoid. Most of the time, they will tell and direct you, and that' is the best info you could get. Part of York road North going towards Towson, close to Loyola college in cold spring lane is one area I got scared after I did the drop off.

 

I'm a female driver in Baltimore. I primarily drive late nights in the city.
You will be ok around/in:
Horseshoe Casino/Greyhound Bus Station
Federal Hill
Fells Point
Canton
Inner Harbor
Mt. Vernon

Don't go west of the casino/stadiums
Don't go north or east of Mt. Vernon

There is a train station (Penn Station) just north of Mt. Vernon. It can get a little sketchy around that area. I won't go there after 9/10 pm.

You can tell the areas that aren't safe. They have a bad vibe (and lots of boarded up houses).

Good luck!

 

The Baltimore bad areas are easy to identify. If you see little blue lights on top of telephone poles and traffic lights those are the police cameras. All the bad neighborhoods have them.

 

Protection? U mean condoms? Just don't drive that early or that late. Money belongs to someone else when sht happens to you.
