Route description

MD 501 begins at an intersection with MD 212 (Riggs Road) in Chillum. Chillum Road continues west as a two-lane county highway toward New Hampshire Avenue. MD 501 heads southeast as a four-lane undivided highway with a speed limit of 35 mph (56 km/h) through a mix of apartment complexes and single-family residences. After crossing Sargent Road, which is former MD 211, the state highway crosses a stream then parallels Northwest Branch. After passing under the Green Line of the Washington Metro, MD 501 enters a commercial area and meets its eastern terminus at MD 500 (Queens Chapel Road). Chillum Road continues east as a two-lane county highway into the town of Mount Rainier.

History

Before its construction as a state highway, the only existing portion of Chillum Road was between MD 212 and Sargent Road.[2] That segment was rebuilt and the portion east to MD 500 was constructed by 1933.[3]
