Transportation

This area is particularly car friendly. It is very convenient to come across a place to park, and nearby highways, such as Washington National Pike, are easy to reach from any home in Zip Code 21704. This area is not particularly convenient for pedestrians as carrying out day-to-day needs is occasionally challenging without a car. This postal code is also not very bike-friendly as bicycling is rendered arduous by the often steep terrain. Nevertheless, the bicycling network is reasonably good.
