Maryland Route 140 (MD 140) is a local long route in northern Maryland, United States. ==Route description== MD 140 is a part of the main National Highway System from I-795 in Reisterstown to US 15 in Emmitsburg. The highway has two segments where it serves as an intermodal connector: from Patterson Avenue in Baltimore to I-695 in Pikesville and from Painters Mill Road to Owings Mill Boulevard in Owings Mills. The remaining portions of MD 140 between its southern terminus in Baltimore and I-795 are classified as National Highway System principal arterials.〔〔〔〔 ===Baltimore to Reisterstown=== MD 140 begins as a couplet of streets at North Avenue northwest of downtown Baltimore. Northbound MD 140 follows Fulton Avenue, which is a two-way street on both sides of North Avenue, and the southbound route follows one-way Monroe Street. US 40 Truck follows North Avenue through the pair of intersections, northbound US 1 enters from the south on Fulton Avenue and turns east onto North Avenue, and southbound US 1 enters from the east on North Avenue and turns south onto Monroe Street. Northbound MD 140 follows four-lane divided Fulton Avenue north for three blocks between the Penn North neighborhood to the east and Mondawmin on the west. The route reaches a four-way intersection with Pennsylvania Avenue and Reisterstown Road, which head southeast and northwest, respectively. Fulton Avenue veers northeast while MD 140 turns northwest onto Reisterstown Road. The highway passes along the southwest side of the Parkview/Woodbrook neighborhood and intersects Gwynns Falls Parkway just before Monroe Avenue splits off as a one-lane ramp from southbound Reisterstown Road. Monroe Avenue immediately expands to two lanes and intersects the parkway, heads southeast, then veers south toward southbound MD 140's terminus at North Avenue. One block north of the convergence of the couplet, the state highway intersects Liberty Heights Avenue, which heads west as MD 26, on the east side of Mondawmin Mall. Adjacent to the MD 140–MD 26 intersection is the Mondawmin station of the Baltimore Metro Subway.〔〔 MD 140 continues northwest as a six-lane boulevard along the northeast edge of the Liberty Square neighborhood. The highway has an oblique intersection with MD 129 (Auchentoroly Terrace)—there is no direct access from northbound MD 140 to southbound MD 129 or from northbound MD 129 to southbound MD 140—after which the two state highways run concurrently along the west side of Druid Hill Park. MD 140 and MD 129 diverge at a five-way intersection with Druid Park Drive that does not allow direct access from southbound MD 140 to northbound MD 129. MD 140 continues northwest as a four-lane undivided highway paralleled by MD 129 (Park Heights Avenue) one block to the east through the Park Circle neighborhood. MD 140 passes the Louisa May Alcott School and enters Central Park Heights, where the state highway intersects Cold Spring Lane before veering west along the northern edge of the Towanda-Grantley and Lucille Park neighborhoods and the southern edge of Langston Hughes neighborhood. At Belvedere Avenue, MD 140 veers northwest and enters a commercial area within the Woodmere neighborhood. The highway intersects Northern Parkway and passes between the neighborhoods of Glen to the northeast and Reisterstown Station on the southwest. Within the latter neighborhood is the Reisterstown Road Plaza shopping center and its attendant Subway station. MD 140 passes along the edge of the Falstaff neighborhood before leaving the city of Baltimore south of Seven Mile Lane.〔〔 MD 140 continues northwest through Pikesville as a four-lane undivided highway that passes the Pikesville Armory, Suburban Club Golf Course, and Druid Ridge Cemetery and intersects Old Court Road. North of that county highway, the state highway gains a center turn lane and meets I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) at a single-point urban interchange. MD 140 meets the western end of MD 130 (Greenspring Valley Road) and passes the campus of Garrison Forest School in Garrison. Within Owings Mills, the state highway intersects a two-way ramp with Owings Mills Boulevard, passes under the boulevard and CSX's Hanover Subdivision, and passes by the Owings Upper Mill complex. Shortly after entering Reisterstown, MD 140 intersects Franklin Boulevard and Cherry Hill Road and passes by historic St. Michael's Church. The highway veers north, its name changes to Main Street, and it reduces to two lanes, with occasional center turn lanes, as it enters the Reisterstown Historic District. At the north end of the downtown area, the roadway continues north as MD 30 (Hanover Pike) and MD 140 turns northwest onto two-lane Westminster Pike, now signed as an east-west highway.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maryland Route 140」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
