Going south, the last place I see a 50mph sign is just south of the Pleasant St. exit (it should be visible on street view). Going north, the first place I see a 50mph sign is just north of the North Ave. onramp (you might have to spin the street view around).

Maybe I've just missed it, but is it possible the signage on the road is wrong?

I used to do this around my row home. The kids next door were one the worst about throwing stuff on the ground. I was out there doing my trash collecting one day and the youngest kid asks if she can use my trash grabber. She enjoyed picking up the trash for a bit and then went inside her house. Thought maybe that would make an impression.

Next day saw her throwing her trash on the sidewalk...

I was at a traffic light on Fairmount years ago and dude in front of me opened his car door and put his empty Popeyes box on the ground. Shut his door and drive off.

Same G! It’s good for mama earth, nice to go out for a walk and hopefully you’ll inspire some others.

Did you think downtown baltimore was gonna be a field of flowers?

Yea - it’s about the same on every street in a city these days. I try going out to clean my park and neighborhood at least once a month.

Edit - I’m also shocked by the lack of trash cans available

It has a big part to do with it.

Puhlease. Tell me out haven’t traveled without telling me you haven’t traveled. Filthidelphia is worse

It's just a problem here. Smh

Can you tell us more about what sections of road you’re talking about?

Going south, the speed limit is 40mph from Exit 4 to Exit one because of the curvature of the road.

Why do you think the head of the Public Waste just resigned? They do not have enough resources, either physical or human.

Littering in Harford County and Baltimore City are not the same. It's prolific in the city. Compare the sides of the road when driving on 24 in Harford County vs driving on Perring Parkway, for instance. Similar roadways with similar widths and speeds.

I can see the stretch of 83 by Union/Woodberry from my house. Used to see/hear accidents multiple times a day on that really bad stretch of road. From what I can tell there has been an incredible decline in accidents that started as soon as that camera came online, and such accidents are now unusual rather than nearly constant.

My only complaint is that the flash isn't aimed -at all-, and I get strobe lights through my bedroom window with every ticket almost 1/2 mile from the camera. How hard can it be to put some hoods on those things?

This city is low on empathy, altruism, and any sense of community or civic pride. Things like littering, double parking, and going through red lights are simple indications of the plague of “not giving a fuck” that has completely taken over.

People don't give a fuck about anyone else and they don't give a fuck about making it better. Welcome to Baltimore.

I have 2 tickets to My Fair Lady at the Hippodrome this Friday at 8pm. Looking for $90 a ticket - seats are in center orchestra!

Maybe you inspired someone driving by? How could you ever know?

I've told this before. A guy was sitting on the rim of a city owned trash receptacle eating chicken from a box. When he was finished the box went right on the ground. He was too common to drop it in the can.

Definitely don’t prioritize speeding lol. All accidents, one mph too fast. I do care. I’m not a fan of throwing away money like this. Obviously an expensive lesson.

County legislators who argue local control all day love to prevent Baltimore from having the same authority because they're hypocrites who speed to their downtown law firms.

I have zero problems calling out institutional dysfunction. But this has zero to do with DPW. I don't understand how a whole city develops this kind of mindset.

Just swapped from Progressive (~$650/6 months - discount for paying up front) to State Farm (~$700/6 months). I have no claims or tickets on my record. Auto insurance is definitely sticker shock for anyone moving here from out of state.

It truly is embarrassing. If I were mayor, I would focus on cleaning this shit up. It would boost the morale of the people of this city, tourists, businesses, events, would want to come to the city. But hey, what do I know?

I’m a big believer, if the area is clean, It will definitely bring positive vibes… I really wish city leaders would understand that… but they don’t
