According to [1] it's the State Highway System, but everything is a State Route or numbered route. Routes are apparently referred to as MD X. (Google search for MD 140 vs. Route 140) I propose "MD X" as the name for articles. -- SPUI ( talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 06:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[2] These are maintained by the city, except for some of the Interstates, which are maintained by the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA). [3]
From [4]
It appears there was such a thing before any of the other numbered routes existed. [5] I cannot find evidence of any other state roads from that era.
From 1908 ch. 304 sec. 1: [6]
Obviously this is now mainly US 1 between Baltimore and Washington. Columbia Avenue is now Washington Boulevard. [7] -- NE2 12:46, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
More info on MD 1, according to that it was probably never signed, I would mention the route in the U.S. Route 1 in Maryland article (with Maryland Route 1 being a redirect to it), but that article doesn't exist yet (nor have I gotten around to creating it). -Jeff (talk) 01:58, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Routes were numbered by July 1930: [8] [9] [10] And apparently by June 1929, though that article only seems to describe 2, 3, 5, 13, 113, and 213. -- NE2 01:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Here's a 1929 map that includes 2, 3, 5, 6, 12, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 31, 32, 35, 36, 37, 313, and 413: [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] -- NE2 08:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
MD 496, which runs between roughly between Westminster and Manchester doesn't appear in Wikipedia. Is there a reason for this? Leebert 00:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I'm a resident in Charles County, and noticed a lot of the state highways in my county were missing, so I've started the process of adding them (Including a Template:Roads in Charles County, Maryland section I've added to all the state highways currently in the county (all or partly). However, the only thing I'm missing is the maps that User:Algorerhythms has put up. If I knew how he was making them, I'd add them myself, as they look relatively simple. But It looked like he's got the process down pretty good, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone can get those hooked up. I'll be adding more state highway entries as I get the time, but if anyone's bored, please check out what I currently have added for accuracy and any other oddities I may have missed. I'm also a bit new to Wiki editing, so pointing out any mistakes will help me learn! (and excuse my use of the 'Minor Edit' flag on a few entries, I didn't realize what that was for initially).
If I get the time to do the research, I'll probably also setup a Template:Roads in St. Mary's County, Maryland and a Template:Roads in Calvert County, Maryland since some of the roads in Charles cross over.

This one's got me confused. Locally, the entire portion of Old Washington Road in Waldorf, from Billingsley Road north to US301 (about ~5 miles) is regarded as MD 925. According to the HLR, though, Route 925 itself stops at MD 5 BUS (Leonardtown Road), while Old Washington Road itself continues onwards to the US 301 junction (and there's even a little dead-end stub beyond that). This is new to me, as I always thought the whole route was 925, but I'm deferring to the HLR on this and updated the Infobox and article to reflect the terminuses (terminii?). However, all the major mapping services (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Mapquest) sign the entire route as MD 925.
So if we defer to the HLR, then the map on the page needs to be updated to stop at MD 5 BUS, but I wasn't sure whether this was necessary here. Which takes true precedence? the HLR, or local knowledge that's probably unaware of some minor curiosity? Kumba42 ( talk) 18:06, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
I've noticed that the list takes a ridiculous amount of time to load, and the page size is massive, so I have reformatted the list using the jct templates. There are some exceptions, though, like with US 40 ALT, which is did not change because they would break. Hope this helps. -- Onore Baka Sama ( talk) 20:09, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Is there an article which lists those numbers not used for Maryland state routes and the reason why the number isn't used? I understand primarily it's because of a U.S. route with that number, or a highway has been decommissioned, but it would be useful (I think) to have them all in a list. 216.81.94.70 ( talk) 16:44, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
according to [ [16]], MD 956 was originally MD 9. Can someone please confirm whether this was MD 9 or not? Alexlatham96 ( talk) 02:26, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
