Maryland Route 7 is the former alignment of U.S. Route 40 from Baltimore to the state line with Delaware. The route was part of US 40 until Pulaski Highway was built and became the new U.S. 40 in 1935. As a result of it being the older alignment of a newer route, MD 7 crosses back and forth across U.S. 40, and exists in separate sections. The majority of the route is named Philadelphia Road.

[edit] Notes

All segments of MD 7 are signed with the standard Maryland highway trailblazer. The letters are used to differentiate the unconnected segments from one another; the mainline segment has no letter due to its length.
Segment D ends two miles from the Delaware border; Maryland Route 281 is a leftover alignment of U.S. 40 that continues as Old Baltimore Pike in Delaware.
