East of the intersection with Carol I Boulevard [ro], the street has two lanes and consists of apartment blocks built during the communist era, while West of the intersection with Carol I Boulevard the street has only one lane and consists of houses built in the 19th century.

Podul Târgului din Afară was in fact one of the major streets of medieval Bucharest.

The street was much shorter in the past, the city limits being just somewhere at Saints' Church (Biserica Sfinților) towards the northeast, at junction with Strada Sfinţilor.

The end of Podul Târgului de Afară near Piața Obor was also the place where convicted people were executed by hanging.

This is the place where famous bandit Iancu Jianu was supposed to be executed for his outlaw activity but one of the noble ladies of the Court, Sultana Gălășescu, saved him from the death penalty by taking him as a husband.

The old Calea Moșilor between Carol I Boulevard and Unirii Square has been kept the same, but over the years some of the houses have been abandoned and dilapidated.
