US 301 serves mainly as a bypass of Baltimore and Washington from Delaware to Virginia. ==Route description== US 301 is a Blue Star Memorial Highway for its entire length in Maryland. The Federated Garden Clubs of Maryland declared the U.S. Highway a Blue Star Memorial Highway as a tribute to the United States Armed Forces in 1948, and a 1953 resolution signed by Governor William Preston Lane, Jr., officially dedicated US 301 as such.〔 The highway's primary name from the Potomac River to Bowie is Robert Crain Highway.〔 Robert Crain was a Charles County farmer and lawyer who spearheaded the construction of a new highway to directly connect Baltimore and Southern Maryland that was completed in 1927.〔 Along its concurrency with US 50 and unsigned I-595 from Bowie to the Severn River, US 301 follows John Hanson Highway.〔 The freeway is named for John Hanson, the first President of the Continental Congress in 1781.〔 Short portions of US 301 are included among several Maryland Scenic Byways.
