context_page_description: U.S. Route 13 is a U.S. Highway running from Fayetteville, North Carolina north to Morrisville, Pennsylvania. In the U.S. state of Maryland, the route runs 42.48 mi from the Virginia border south of Pocomoke City in Worcester County north to the Delaware border in Delmar, Wicomico County, where the route intersects Delaware/Maryland Route 54, which runs along the state line. The majority of the route within Maryland is a four-lane divided highway that passes through rural areas of woodland and farmland. The route also runs through a few municipalities including Pocomoke City and Princess Anne and it bypasses Fruitland and Salisbury to the east on the Salisbury Bypass, which is a freeway. US 13 intersects many major roads including the southern terminus of US 113 in Pocomoke City, Maryland Route 413 in Westover, and MD 12 and US 50 where the route is on the Salisbury Bypass. The route shares a concurrency with US 50 along a portion of the Salisbury Bypass.
  US 13 was designated through Maryland when the U.S. Highway System was established in 1926, running along existing roads.
context_section_description: Entering the state from Virginia, US 13 heads north on Ocean Highway, a four-lane divided highway that runs a short distance to the east of the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Industrial Track line. Upon entering Maryland, US 13 features a rest area and welcome center in the northbound direction, with access from the southbound direction provided by way of a U-turn at the state line. It continues north through wooded areas before heading into a mix of farmland and woodland with some residences and businesses along the road. As the road approaches Pocomoke City, more businesses start to line the road. Before entering Pocomoke City, US 13 Business (US 13 Bus.) heads northwest from US 13 on Market Street into the downtown area.  Past this intersection, the road enters Pocomoke City.  The route crosses MD 366 (Stockton Road), which itself has its western terminus at US 13 Bus., and continues north past a shopping center before coming to a junction with the southern terminus of US 113 (Worcester Highway) and MD 250A (Old Virginia Road) along the eastern edge of town. Continuing around the northern edge of the town, the route passes residential areas to the southwest and rural areas to the northeast before heading into a commercial district and intersecting MD 756 (Old Snow Hill Road).  US 13 turns west into wooded areas before crossing the Pocomoke River upstream of US 13 Bus.
  Upon crossing the Pocomoke River, US 13 heads into Somerset County and intersects the northern terminus of US 13 Bus. and the southern terminus of MD 364 (Dividing Creek Road). From here, the route comes to a bridge over the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Subdivision line and curves to the northwest, running through rural countryside. It features an intersection with the eastern terminus of MD 667 (Rehobeth Road), and the route continues from farmland into heavy woodland. US 13 heads back into agricultural areas where it intersects many unsigned suffixed segments of MD 920 which are mostly short, dead-end roads. The route continues west and northwest before the median widens and it intersects the eastern terminus of MD 673 (Sam Barnes Road), which provides a connection to southbound MD 413 and Crisfield. A park and ride lot is located north of this intersection. Past MD 673, the median narrows and US 13 turns north to meet the northern terminus of MD 413 (Crisfield Highway), with access to that route only in the southbound direction.
  Now running north-northeast, the highway heads through heavy woodland, with trees in the median. US 13 intersects the eastern terminus of MD 640 (Revells Neck Road), which heads west to serve the Eastern Correctional Institution. From here, the road heads north through a mix of woods and farms, running a short distance to the west of the Delmarva Central Railroad. It is eventually paralleled to the west by the main segment of unsigned MD 920 (Market Lane), which serves as a frontage road.  Along this stretch, more development starts to line the road as it approaches Princess Anne. Farther north, the route passes to the west of Washington High School on the other side of the railroad tracks. After the northern terminus of MD 920, MD 675 heads north from US 13 into downtown Princess Anne on Somerset Avenue (US 13's original alignment through Princess Anne). The route curves northwest again as it bypasses the town.
  Skirting the western edge of the town, the route intersects MD 363 (Deal Island Road/Manokin Avenue) next to Manokin River Park.  Continuing north, the route soon crosses MD 362, with a park and ride lot on the southwest corner of the intersection, and passes by some businesses past that intersection. The next intersection is with the western terminus of MD 822 (UMES Boulevard), which heads east to provide access to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus. US 13 curves northeast and exits the town, intersecting the northern terminus of MD 675 in the town's outskirts. It continues through wooded areas, again closely paralleling the Delmarva Central Railroad. US 13 intersects the northern terminus o
