The Baltimore City Department of Transportation would like to advise motorists that high volumes of traffic are expected downtown this afternoon/evening for the Baltimore Ravens pre-season home opening game against the Washington Redskins.  The game will be held this evening at M&T Bank Stadium beginning at 7:30 p.m. 

Motorists should be advised that all posted parking restrictions and residential permit parking regulations in the vicinity of the stadium will be strictly enforced.  Patrons attending the game who do not have a parking permit for any of the stadium lots are strongly encouraged to use public transportation including mass transit, light rail or the Charm City Circulator.  

Patrons choosing to drive to the stadium should park at commercial lots and avoid area neighborhoods.  Parking Control Agents will enforce all posted parking restrictions in the vicinity of the stadium and vehicles parked in violation will be ticketed and towed to 410 Fallsway.  Citizens with questions concerning the location of their vehicle should call (410) 396-4613 or 311.
