51-552: Maryland Route 30 ( MD 30 ) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland . Known for most of its length as Hanover Pike , the highway runs 19.16 miles (30.84 km) from MD 140 in Reisterstown north to the Pennsylvania state line near Melrose , where the highway continues as Pennsylvania Route 94 (PA 94). MD 30 is a major, two-lane regional highway in western Baltimore County and northeastern Carroll County . Locally,

102-490: A turnpike in the 19th century. MD 30 was constructed as a state road by the Maryland State Roads Commission in the late 1910s and early 1920s, and it became one of the original state-numbered highways in 1927. The state highway was relocated and widened near Reisterstown in the late 1930s and along the rest of its route in the early 1950s. The Hampstead Bypass was planned as early as the 1960s to ameliorate

153-495: A connector between MD 30 and the northern terminus of I-795 (Northwest Expressway) at MD 140 that serves as a bypass of Reisterstown for MD 30 traffic. As the highway leaves Reisterstown, Old Hanover Pike splits to the northeast and MD 30 crosses over the Maryland Midland Railway . Old Hanover Pike reconnects with the state highway where the highway briefly parallels CSX 's Hanover Subdivision railroad line and passes to

204-670: A much closer port for farmers and merchants in York County and Adams County, Pennsylvania , than Philadelphia . This road became known as the Conewago Road, Pack Horse Road, or the Wheelbarrow Road, the last due to the namesake implements being used to haul stones to widen the road by order of Maryland in 1793. The highway became a toll road with the 1805 incorporation of the Baltimore and Reisterstown Turnpike Company, which operated between

255-513: A population of bog turtles was discovered along the bypass route. The bog turtle has been on the Maryland endangered species list since 1972 and was added to the "threatened" list under the U.S. Endangered Species Act in 1997. In 1998, the route of the Hampstead Bypass changed a third time when the bog turtle habitat was found to be larger than previously discovered. Delays were also ascribed to

306-526: A population of at least 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the relevant municipalities. The state highway that cross towns or villages with a population of less than 10,000 inhabitants are urban roads (type D and E) under the jurisdiction of the municipality, subject to authorization from ANAS . State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments . Mexico 's State Highway System

357-404: A road bypassing both Hampstead and Manchester. However, by the mid-1970s, the town of Manchester decided it did not want the bypass. The bypass was planned to pass to the west of Manchester, but the town allowed a residential subdivision to be built along the bypass route. The planned bypass route was eventually changed to be east of town. After two decades of disagreement by the town and county over

408-556: A road class which is ranking below the federal road network ( Bundesstraßen ). The responsibility for road planning, construction and maintenance is vested in the federal states of Germany. Most federal states use the term Landesstraße (marked with 'L'), while for historical reasons Saxony and Bavaria use the term Staatsstraße (marked with 'S'). The appearance of the shields differs from state to state. The term Land-es-straße should not be confused with Landstraße , which describes every road outside built-up areas and

459-466: A roundabout. MD 30 reunites with the northern end of MD 30 Business at a roundabout in the community of Greenmount . The state highway, once again named Hanover Pike, has a short four-lane divided section through a commercial area before reducing to a two-lane undivided road. MD 30 enters the town of Manchester as Main Street as the highway passes west of Manchester Valley High School . In the center of town,

510-608: A three-digit number designation, preceded by D . Provincial roads ( Turkish : İl yolu ) are secondary roads, maintained by respective local governments with the support of the KGM. The roads have a four-digit numbering grouped as two pairs, pairs are separated by a dash. First pair represents the license number of that province . State highways are generally a mixture of primary and secondary roads, although some are freeways (for example, State Route 99 in California, which links many of

561-732: Is 100 km/h, with reductions when one passes through a densely populated area. The highways in New Zealand are all state highways, and the network consists of SH 1 running the length of both main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8 and 60–99 in the South Island. National and provincial highways are numbered approximately north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands. Local highways ( Korean :  지방도 ; Hanja :  地方道 ; RR :  Jibangdo ; MR :  Chipangdo ) are

612-607: Is a part of the main National Highway System for its entire length except for the short segment in Reisterstown south of MD 128 and MD 795; that short segment is a National Highway System principal arterial. The first road along the corridor of MD 30 was a wagon road cut along an existing Indian trail in 1736 and 1737 to connect the Conewago Settlement, which later became Hanover, with Baltimore Town, which served as

663-665: Is a road maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australia 's important urban and inter-regional routes not covered by the National Highway or National Route systems are marked under the State Route system. They can be recognised by blue shield markers. They were practically adopted in all states by the end of the 1980s, and in some states, some less important National Routes were downgraded to State Routes. Each state has or had its own numbering scheme, but do not duplicate National Route numbers in

714-482: Is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state. The main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network. Each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways –

765-468: Is another country that is divided into states and has state highways. For example, the longest highway in the state of São Paulo , the Rodovia Raposo Tavares , is designated as SP-270 and SP-295 . Canada is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways, which form the majority of the country's highway network. There is also

816-458: Is free to choose a different marker, and most states have. States may choose a design theme relevant to its state (such as an outline of the state itself) to distinguish state route markers from interstate, county, or municipal route markers. Greenmount, Maryland Greenmount is an unincorporated community in Carroll County , Maryland , United States. This article about

867-563: Is not a road class. The Strade Statali , abbreviated SS, is the Italian national network of state highways. The total length for the network is about 25.000 km (15.534 mi). The Italian state highway network are maintained by ANAS . From 1928 until 1946 state highways were maintained by Azienda Autonoma Statale della Strada (AASS). The next level of roads below Strada Statali is Strada Regionale ("regional roads"). The routes of some state highways derive from ancient Roman roads , such as

918-609: The Strada statale 7 Via Appia , which broadly follows the route of the Roman road of the same name . Other examples are the Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia ( Via Aurelia ) and the Strada statale 4 Via Salaria ( Via Salaria ). Since the reforms following the birth of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, the State took charge of the construction and maintenance of a primary network of roads for connections between

969-615: The 1960s, but the Maryland State Highway Administration (MDSHA) has no plans to construct the new highway in the foreseeable future. MD 30 begins within the Reisterstown Historic District at an intersection with MD 140, which heads south as Main Street and northwest as Westminster Pike. The state highway heads north as two-lane undivided Hanover Pike through a residential area to a four-way intersection with MD 128 (Butler Road) and unsigned MD 795 ,

1020-642: The Baltimore–;Carroll county line. Shortly after entering Carroll County, MD 30 curves northwest and meets the southern end of MD 30 Business (Hanover Pike) and Phillips Drive at a roundabout . While the business route heads north through the center of Hampstead, MD 30 passes to the west of the town on the Hampstead Bypass, which has two lanes but expands to a three- or four-lane divided highway for short stretches on either side of its roundabouts. The state highway passes under Houcksville Road and over Shiloh Road before meeting MD 482 (Hampstead–Mexico Road) at

1071-552: The Hanover Subdivision before exiting the town and becoming Hanover Pike again. In the community of Greenmount, the railroad veers away to the northeast and MD 30 Business veers northwest to its northern terminus at a three-leg roundabout with MD 30, which heads southwest as the Hampstead Bypass and north as Hanover Pike toward Manchester. The highway is a part of the National Highway System as a principal arterial from

1122-492: The bypass and the highway's bridges over Shiloh Road and Indian Run were completed in 2007. The roundabouts at MD 482 and at the southern end of the bypass opened, without connections to the under-construction bypass, in April and May 2009, respectively. The roundabout at the northern end of the bypass opened when the bypass opened to traffic on August 6, 2009. To minimize disruption to the bog turtle habitat, MDSHA installed tunnels under

1173-409: The bypass for the turtles to use and employed goats to consume invasive species in the habitat area near the bypass rather than remove them with mechanical mowers. The old alignment of MD 30 through the center of Hampstead was redesignated MD 30 Business when the bypass opened. Since as early as 1967, local officials have discussed building a Manchester bypass, either as a separate project or as part of

1224-444: The bypass was shelved for six years for lack of funding. There have been several causes of the continual postponement of the bypass. In 1991, heavy groundwater contamination by industrial chemicals was discovered near the southern end of the proposed route, then 5.8 miles (9.3 km) long, at a Black & Decker factory and near the northern end of the planned route at a shopping center. The bypass route changed again in 1994 when

1275-619: The cities of the Central Valley , Route 128 in Massachusetts, or parts of Route 101 in New Hampshire). Each state has its own system for numbering and its own marker. The default marker is a white circle containing a black sans serif number (often inscribed in a black square or slightly rounded square), according to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). However each state

1326-463: The east of the Montrose Mansion and Chapel . At the hamlet of Woodensburg, the old road splits northeast again to follow the railroad through the village of Boring . The railroad and old road return to MD 30 again just north of the state highway's intersection with MD 91 (Emory Road). MD 30 parallels the railroad through the community of Upperco , which is also known as Arcadia , before crossing

1377-419: The highway intersects Westminster Street and York Street; along the latter street is Charlotte's Quest Nature Center . MD 30 meets the northern end of MD 27 (Manchester Road) on the northern edge of downtown and the southern end of MD 86 (Lineboro Road) at the north town limit. There is no direct access from southbound MD 30 to northbound MD 86; that movement is made via Hallie Avenue, the next intersection to

1428-413: The highway serves the towns of Manchester and Hampstead ; the latter town is bypassed by the highway but served by a business route . Regionally, MD 30 connects Reisterstown and Baltimore with Hanover, Pennsylvania . MD 30 originated in the colonial era as part of a wagon road connecting the fledgling port of Baltimore with the new settlement that was to become Hanover. This highway was improved as

1479-482: The increasing congestion along the MD 30 corridor that was only exacerbated when Interstate 795 (I-795) was completed to Reisterstown in the late 1980s. However, the construction of the bypass was continually delayed due to environmental issues and politics. The bypass was finally constructed between 2006 and 2009; the old highway through Hampstead became MD 30 Business . A MD 30 bypass of Manchester has also been discussed since

1530-531: The main cities; in 1865 the Lanza law introduced the classification of roads between national, provincial and municipal (see Annex F, art.10) and the Royal Decree of 17 November 1865, n. 2633 listed the first 38 national roads. Italian state highways are identified by a number and a name. In road signs and maps the number is preceded by the acronym SS, an acronym for strada statale ("state road"). The nomenclature of

1581-452: The municipalities' small-town charm; regional traffic comprising people who had moved to Pennsylvania for cheaper housing and lower taxes but continued to work in the Baltimore area; and truck traffic serving local industry and making connections between Baltimore and Hanover. The increase in congestion on MD 30 accelerated with the completion of I-795 in 1987. By the early 1990s, it took as long as 15 minutes for motorists to pass through each of

1632-491: The national transcontinental Trans-Canada Highway system, which is marked by distinct signs, but has no uniform numeric designation across the country. In the eastern provinces, for instance, an unnumbered (though sometimes with a named route branch) Trans-Canada route marker is co-signed with a numbered provincial sign, with the provincial route often continuing alone outside the Trans-Canada Highway section. However, in

1683-489: The next 20 years. Maryland Route 30 Business is a 4.00-mile (6.44 km) business route of MD 30 through Hampstead. The business route begins at a four-leg roundabout with MD 30, which heads south as Hanover Pike and northwest as the Hampstead Bypass, and Phillips Drive. MD 30 Business parallels CSX's Hanover Subdivision through an industrial area that contains the headquarters of JoS. A. Bank Clothiers . The highway's name changes from Hanover Pike to Main Street as it enters

1734-477: The next important roads under the National highways . The number has two, three, or four digits. Highways with two-digit numbers routes are called State-funded local highways. State roads ( Turkish : Devlet yolu ) are primary roads, mostly under the responsibility of General Directorate of Highways (KGM) except in metropolitan city centers where the responsibility falls into the local government. The roads have

1785-414: The past. State highway Roads maintained by a state or province include both nationally numbered highways and un-numbered state highways. Depending on the state, "state highway" may be used for one meaning and "state road" or "state route" for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand , the word "state" is used in its sense of a sovereign state or country. By this meaning a state highway

1836-608: The path of the bypass, in 1993 the bypass was placed in the town's master plan. However, state support for the Manchester bypass was scrapped in 1998 by Smart Growth proponent and governor Parris Glendening , who said the bypass would promote suburban sprawl. The Manchester Bypass is neither in the Maryland Department of Transportation 's Consolidated Transportation Program for 2012 to 2017 nor in MDSHA's 2011 Highway Needs Inventory for

1887-401: The railroad was completed in 1936, but the relocated highway, which replaced what is now Old Hanover Road to the east, was not placed under construction until 1938 and did not open until 1939. MD 30 was widened from Hampstead south to the Baltimore–Carroll county line in 1938 with a pair of 3-foot (0.91 m)-wide macadam shoulders, expanding the road's width to 21 feet (6.4 m). MD 30

1938-505: The same state, or nearby routes in another state. As with the National Routes and National Highways, State Routes are being phased out in most states and territories in favour of alphanumeric routes. However, despite the fact that Victoria has fully adopted alphanumeric routes in regional areas, state route numbers are still used extensively within the city of Melbourne as a part of its Metropolitan Route Numbering Scheme . Brazil

1989-611: The south. MD 30 crosses Dug Hill Ridge just north of MD 86 and passes through the community of Melrose, where the highway intersects the eastern terminus of MD 496 (Bachmans Valley Road) and Wentz Road. The state highway follows the upper reaches of the South Branch of Gunpowder Falls through a ridge to the river's source before reaching its northern terminus at the Pennsylvania state line. The highway continues as PA 94 (Baltimore Pike) through southwestern York County to Hanover. MD 30

2040-469: The southern junction with MD 30 to MD 88. MD 30 Business was created on August 6, 2009, along the former alignment of MD 30 through the town after MD 30 was relocated onto the Hampstead Bypass. Now that MD 30 has bypassed Hampstead, a streetscape project is planned to rebuild Main Street through town starting in 2014 or 2015. Junction list The entire route is in Carroll County . MD 30 has two extant auxiliary routes and has had at least two such routes in

2091-450: The start of construction of the Hampstead Bypass was proposed for three to four years in the future; at that time, most of the engineering phase was complete but most of the highway right-of-way had yet to be purchased. The three-year timeframe was again put forth in 2001. Finally, in 2004, officials announced that the bypass would begin construction in autumn 2005. Construction finally got underway in summer 2006.

2142-631: The state highways managed by ANAS generally follows the SS n scheme, where n is a number ranging from 1 ( Aurelia ) up to 700 (of the Royal Palace of Caserta ) depending on the date of establishment of the state highway. Newly built ANAS roads, not yet classified, are identified by the acronym NSA, an acronym for nuova strada ANAS ("new ANAS road"). State highways can be technically defined as main extra-urban roads (type B road) or as secondary extra-urban roads (type C road). State highways that cross towns with

2193-408: The state's political climate. Carroll County is a heavily Republican county in a heavily Democratic state, and until the election of Bob Ehrlich as governor in 2002, the state had not had a Republican governor since Spiro Agnew left office in 1969. Local sentiment was that the county was relatively neglected and did not get its fair share of state highway funding for close to 40 years. By 1997,

2244-427: The town of Hampstead at an oblique grade crossing of the railroad. At the south end of downtown, MD 30 Business intersects the western ends of MD 88 (Lower Beckleysville Road) and MD 833 (Black Rock Road). Gill Avenue is used to access eastbound MD 833 and the historic Hampstead School . North of downtown, the highway meets the eastern end of MD 482 (Hampstead–Mexico Road) and has another acute grade crossing of

2295-407: The towns during rush hour; an average of 20,000 to 25,000 motorists used the highway through Hampstead each day by 2001. Progress toward construction of the bypass was continually delayed. The bypass was removed from MDSHA plans by 1979. The Hampstead Bypass had returned to state plans by 1990, when engineering and design work was underway and construction was planned to begin in 1992. However, in 1991,

2346-493: The two towns and split into Westminster and Hanover branches in Reisterstown. The latter branch became known as the Hanover Turnpike or the Baltimore and Hanover Turnpike and had ceased to collect tolls by 1899. Work on modern MD 30 began in 1918 with the construction of a 39-foot (12 m)-wide street through Reisterstown and a 15-to-16-foot (4.6 to 4.9 m) concrete road north from Reisterstown to Woodensburg. By 1921,

2397-528: The western provinces, the two parallel Trans-Canada routes are consistently numbered with Trans-Canada route markers; as Highways 1 and 16 respectively. Canada also has a designated National Highway System , but the system is completely unsigned, aside from the Trans-Canada routes. This makes Canada unique in that national highway designations are generally secondary to subnational routes. In Germany , state roads ( Landesstraßen or Staatsstraßen ) are

2448-456: The whole length of future MD 30 was planned for improvement and the concrete road had been extended to the southern end of Hampstead; in addition, Main Street in Manchester had been paved in concrete. Main Street in Hampstead was rebuilt as a concrete street and the remainder of the highway to the Pennsylvania line, excluding Main Street in Manchester, was completed as a macadam road in 1923. MD 30

2499-518: The word "state" in this sense means "government" or "public" (as in state housing and state schools ), not a division of a country. New Zealand's state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island . As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a "State Highway" designation. The NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways

2550-551: Was one of the original state-numbered highways marked in 1927. By 1934, the entire length of MD 30 was proposed to be widened from its existing width of 15 to 16 feet (4.6 to 4.9 m) to 20 feet (6.1 m). The only major relocation of MD 30 in the 20th century was the elimination of a grade crossing at the Western Maryland Railway (now the Maryland Midland Railway) at Glen Morris. The present bridge over

2601-581: Was relocated in a few spots, widened, and resurfaced from the county line north to Manchester in 1950, from the county line south to the north end of the Glen Morris relocation in 1951 and 1952, and from Manchester north to the Pennsylvania state line in 1953 and 1954. A MD 30 bypass of Hampstead has been contemplated since the 1940s and planned since at least 1960. The heavy traffic along the highway consisted of three types of highway users: local traffic made up of people who had moved to Hampstead or Manchester for
