Route description

PA 24 begins at the Maryland border in Hopewell Township, heading to the northwest on two-lane undivided Barrens Road South. The road continues into Maryland as MD 23. From the state line, the route passes through agricultural areas with scattered residences. PA 24 enters Stewartstown and becomes Main Street, heading north past homes. In the center of town, the route forms a short concurrency with PA 851. The road passes more residences and a few businesses before leaving Stewartstown for Hopewell Township again, becoming Barrens Road North. PA 24 continues through more open farmland with occasional patches of woods and homes. Upon passing through the community of Rinely, the route crosses into North Hopewell Township and continues northwest through more rural areas on Winterstown Road. PA 24 enters Winterstown and becomes Main Street, passing a few homes as it intersects PA 216. After this intersection, the road passes more farmland and heads back into North Hopewell Township, with the road name changing back to Winterstown Road. The route heads through more farm areas with some houses, curving to the northeast as it becomes the border between York Township to the west and Windsor Township to the east.[1][2]

The road passes homes as it continues into Red Lion, where it turns north onto Main Street. PA 24 is lined with more residences as it heads northwest through Red Lion and intersects PA 74 in the center of town. Past this intersection, the route continues past a mix of homes and businesses in the downtown area, coming to the PA 624 junction. The road passes more residences before leaving Red Lion and becoming the York Township-Windsor Township border again, with the road name becoming Cape Horn Road. PA 24 passes a mix of suburban homes and businesses, running through East Yoe. The route turns more to the north as it continues through a mix of farmland and residential development. The road makes a turn northwest into suburban neighborhoods and turns north again as it comes to an intersection with PA 124 in a commercial area. Past PA 124, PA 24 continues north on Edgewood Road and enters Springettsbury Township, passing wooded residential neighborhoods. The route widens into a four-lane divided highway as it reaches the PA 462 junction.[1][2]

From here, the road becomes Mount Zion Road and passes homes before running near industrial establishments, coming to a bridge over a Norfolk Southern railroad line. After an interchange with US 30, PA 24 enters commercial areas and passes to the east of the York Galleria shopping mall. Past the mall, the route narrows back into a two-lane undivided road and heads northwest through a mix of wooded residential areas and some fields, passing through Mount Zion. PA 24 makes a turn north onto an unnamed road and crosses the Codorus Creek into Manchester Township, passing a mix of residential neighborhoods and farmland. The route passes through Starview and turns to the northwest, heading into Mount Wolf. Here, PA 24 becomes Center Street and passes homes before turning southwest onto Main Street and ending at the eastern terminus of PA 921 a short distance later.[1][2]
