Live in Ballston area and have an appt. at U of Md. affiliate (Kernan Hosp) in Baltimore. Google map says just over an hour but I know traffic will stink. Have to be there at 6:15 PM--what time should I plan to leave?

Thanks!

AM or PM, on which day? I would budget 2 hours at least with traffic.

I am the type that will leave well in advance and stop and eat or something to burn time when close. Or just sightsee. But that's me.

It's pretty bad going that direction in the evening. I'd budget 2 hours like someone suggested already. You may get there in 1.5

You can adjust your arrival time/day of the week on google to get a good idea of what time you should leave Tuesday.

I would leave before 3pm to avoid sitting in traffic for two hours.

Ask the location where you are going if there are restaurants or shopping close by that they would visit if it were them.
