Route description
The route begins at a skewed intersection with MD 140 in northern Reisterstown. After intersecting with MD 128 the route runs north as a two-lane semi-rural country road. MD 30 intersects with many minor routes along its path, including MD 91 in Fowblesburg, and MD 88 and MD 482 in Hampstead. After entering Hampstead the route is known as Main Street, a heavily congested arterial street. Beyond Hampstead, it resumes its Hanover Pike moniker and continues running northwest, meeting MD 27 in Manchester. North of Manchester, MD 30 intersects MD 86 and MD 496 before continuing to the Pennsylvania state line, where it becomes PA 94.
The route is dotted with many small communities, neighborhoods and houses; traffic levels are therefore rather elevated, given the otherwise rural nature of the route. Traffic levels in Hampstead and Manchester are high and MD 30 through these towns is often congested and even halted due to the high levels of traffic.
Hampstead Bypass
The Hampstead Bypass was recently opened for traffic on August 6, 2009, and now is the mainline routing for Maryland Route 30 in the town. The original alignment is now known as Maryland Route 30 Business and continues as Hampstead's Main Street. The need for the bypass was brought about due to the high levels of traffic and severe congestion that MD 30 experiences through Hampstead. The bypass skirts the west side of Hampstead, starting at a point on MD 30 slightly to the north of Wolf Hill Drive. The road is a total of 6.0 miles (9.7 km) long, and will not only have full access controls, but will also contain two grade separations - one at Houcksville Road and one at Shiloh Road. The bypass ends north of Hampstead, near Brodbeck Road, and includes three at-grade roundabouts—one at the southern terminus, with a spur to Wolf Hill Drive; one at MD 482; and one at the northern terminus just to the south of Brodbeck Road. Original rights-of-way, such as Houcksville Road, were converted into frontage roads.
