## Pennsylvania
### Norristown truck route

U.S. Route 202 Truck is a northbound truck route of US 202 in Norristown, Pennsylvania that follows Marshall Street east between two-way Markley Street, which carries southbound US 202, and one-way Dekalb Street, which carries northbound US 202. The route directs trucks along northbound Markley Street to use Marshall Street to access northbound US 202, as trucks are prohibited on Markley Street north of Marshall Street.

### North Wales alternate truck route

U.S. Route 202 Alternate Truck is a truck route of US 202 bypassing a weight-restricted bridge over the Wissahickon Creek in Lower Gwynedd Township, Pennsylvania, on which trucks over 30 tons and combination loads over 40 tons are prohibited. The route follows Morris Road, North Wales Road (Walnut Street in North Wales), and PA 63 through North Wales. It was formed in 2013.
In February 2020, construction began along mainline US 202 from Morris Road in Whitpain Township to Swedesford Road in Lower Gwynedd Township. This project will effect the bridge that carries US 202 over the Wissahickon Creek, which, if built to and deemed at least "fair condition" by PennDOT, may see US 202 Alternate Truck removed from PennDOT.
Major intersections The entire route is in Montgomery County.

### Montgomeryville–Doylestown business route

U.S. Route 202 Business (US 202 Bus.) is a business route that follows the former alignment of US 202 between Montgomeryville and Doylestown in Pennsylvania that was bypassed by the US 202 parkway in 2012. The route heads northeast from US 202 in Upper Gwynedd Township along five-lane Dekalb Pike through residential and commercial areas. In Montgomeryville, the route turns north to run concurrent with PA 309 on five-lane Bethlehem Pike past several businesses. US 202 Bus. splits from PA 309 by turning northeast onto two-lane Doylestown Road. The route crosses into Bucks County and becomes Butler Avenue, passing through Chalfont and New Britain and curving east. West of Doylestown, the business route ends at an interchange with PA 611 in Doylestown Township. Following the completion of the US 202 parkway in 2012, several businesses along the former alignment saw declines in customers. In 2014, several businesses along the former alignment pushed for the state to designate the road as US 202 Bus. in order to help businesses. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering approved the US 202 Bus. designation on May 13, 2015.
