Route description
MD 372 begins at an intersection with MD 166 (Rolling Road) in Arbutus. The state highway heads north as Wilkens Avenue, a two-lane road. The route runs along the edge of Rolling Road Golf Course to the UMBC Roundabout, where the highway intersects Hilltop Road, which is one of the entrances to the campus of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).[1][3] After the roundabout, MD 372 expands to a four-lane divided highway and follows the edge of the UMBC campus.[1][3] The state highway curves to the east after passing Valley Road and meets I-695 (Baltimore Beltway). East of the Beltway, MD 372 crosses Maiden Choice Lane, where the highway reduces to a two-lane undivided highway, and Beechfield Avenue before entering the city of Baltimore.[1][2] The state highway runs alongside Loudon Park National Cemetery as a four-lane undivided street before meeting its eastern terminus at US 1, which continues toward downtown Baltimore as Wilkens Avenue and heads south as Southwestern Boulevard.[2][3] There is no access from northbound US 1 to westbound MD 372.[3]
