*On Maryland Route 185 (Connecticut Avenue) between Randolph Road (Maryland Route 183) and Aspen Hill Rd., several short ramp stubs may be seen [http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=qhbqr28k94q4&style=o&lvl=1&scene=576041] [http://maps.google.com/maps?z=17&ll=39.0718,-77.077&t=k] as the road passes over the Turkey Branch of Rock Creek [cite web|url=http://www.aspenhillnet.net/mediawiki/index.php/Cloverleaf_to_Nowhere|title=Cloverleaf to Nowhere] in Matthew Henson State Park. These were originally built for the Washington Outer Beltway [cite web|url=http://www.secondcrossing.org/faqs/main.html|title=Frequently Asked Questions|publisher=Marylanders for a Second Crossing, Inc.] , first conceived in the 1950s and an active proposal until about 1980 [cite web|url=http://www.roadstothefuture.com/Outer_Beltway.html|last=Kozel|first=Scott|publisher=Roads to the Future|title=Washington Outer Beltway] .

*A stretch of U.S. Highway 40 west of downtown contains a short below-grade freeway alignment, which was completed in 1979 [cite web|url=http://www.monumentalcity.net/streets/highways/00.html|publisher=Baltimore Ghosts|title=Interstate 00|last=Paul|first=Adam] as part of a planned routing of Interstate 170 into downtown. When the Interstate 70 extension into the city was canceled, this small freeway segment was orphaned. Currently, U.S. 40 runs east-west on a one-way couplet of surface streets, enters this segment for part of its length, and returns to the surface streets at the other end. Stubs at the west end of the freeway segment sit unused, as do an on- and off-ramp at that end. There is also an empty sign bridge [cite web|url=http://www.aaroadtrips.com/i-170_md.html|title=Terminated Interstate 170 (U.S. Highway 40)|publisher=AARoads] for the never-to-be westbound traffic.

*There is also a stub end of Interstate 70 at a Park and Ride, located on the freeway mainline at exit 94 (Maryland Route 122), where it would have continued to Interstate 170 and Interstate 95 through the downtown.

*Ramp stubs are also located on Interstate 95, just north of the Fort McHenry Tunnel, just south of Interstate Avenue [http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.276268,-76.551147&spn=0.003148,0.009195&t=h] and just north of O'Donnell Street [http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.281625,-76.549988&spn=0.003147,0.009195&t=k] .

*Between Baltimore and Washington, Interstate 95 merges with Interstate 495, the Capital Beltway around Washington. The interchange is known locally as the College Park Interchange. At the intersection of both freeways, a partially unused mainline roadway and several ramp stubs can be seen. I-95 was originally supposed to continue through D.C. as the Northeast Freeway and North Central Freeway, but plans were scrappedcite web|url=http://www.roadstothefuture.com/DC_Interstate_Fwy.html|last=Kozel|first=Scott|publisher=Roads to the Future|title=Washington D.C. Interstates and Freeways] after vigorous and vitriolic protest from residents in the path(s) of the proposed freeway routes. I-95 now continues onto the eastern half of I-495, and the finished portion of I-95's route through D.C. is known as Interstate 395. The stub ramps and a portion of the planned right-of-way were converted into a truck weigh station and a Park and Ride but an old [http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=1&S=12&Z=18&X=413&Y=5400&W=1&qs=%7ccollege+park%7cmd map] still shows grading in the right-of-way.

*On 16th St., near its northern terminus at Georgia Ave., the road's north and south lanes separate. In the middle of that split is some unused pavement leading into the trees. This was originally intended to continue on as a divided highway, which was to run a northeasterly direction toward Sligo Creek Park. In fact, this is why the Sligo Creek trail has its very own wide underpass below the Capital Beltway; it was originally built for that highway.Viewable at [http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=qh0vbf8kczrn&style=b&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=24056926&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&encType=1]
