Transportation

Roads

Liberty Road

The main road that runs through Randallstown is Maryland Route 26, better known as Liberty Road. This major state highway, which starts as Liberty Heights Avenue in Baltimore City and continues into other Maryland counties, holds most of Randallstown's commercial development.

Old Court Road

Old Court Road is one of Randallstown's main cross-county roads, with access to nearby Pikesville and Woodstock. Mostly lined with residential development, the most notable landmark is Northwest Hospital Center.

McDonogh Road

McDonogh Road is Randallstown's other major cross-county road, bringing motorists to nearby Owings Mills. Beginning as a two-lane road at Liberty, the road widens after passing Winands Road and soon splits off with Painters Mill Road. Nearby the two-lane section is the parallel Brenbrook Drive to Liberty Road, which eventually merges into McDonogh. After passing Liberty Road, McDonogh turns into Greens Lane which ends at Old Court Road which Greens Lane continues to homes and a dead-end street.

Brenbrook Drive

Brenbrook Drive is a road that runs parallel to McDonogh Road in the Randallstown area. The road starts at a Y-split off with McDonogh Road near Winands Road, has several 4-way stops, and a traffic circle at the intersection of Church Lane that was installed in 2007. Though the road currently dead-ends shortly past Liberty Road, a plan is currently in place to extend the Road to the nearby Greens Lane.

Offutt Road

The wood is mostly surrounded by woods, including Patapsco Valley State Park. Marriottsville Road is also exit 83 off Interstate 70.
