MD 151 is a route that connects eastern Baltimore City to Dundalk and Sparrows Point, following Erdman Avenue and North Point Avenue/Boulevard.
The route is also partially concurrent with US 40 Truck from US 1 to US 40.

Northbound

Currently not available.

Southbound

Photographed section is from US 1 to US 40/I-895.

MD 151 begins at the intersection of Erdman Avenue and Belair Road (US 1). Erdman Avenue begins in residential northeast Baltimore near Lake Montebello, but becomes a four-lane divided highway beyond Belair Road. On Erdman Avenue itself there is little signage; at Mannasota Avenue we get an older MD 151 shield and an extremely neat John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway shield, dating it to before the completion of I-95 in Baltimore.

For the next 1.5 miles, you get a whole lot of residential and commercial areas with no signage whatsoever. If you missed the MD 151 sign back by Belair Road, you'd may not even know you were on a state highway. Did I mention is this a concurrency with US 40 Truck? As typical with Baltimore City, there is absolutely no signage for state/federal highways, and especially no signage for bannered highways. At least we get some button copy signage for US 40 proper to make up for the shitshow that is highway signage in Baltimore City...

The interchange of US 40/MD 151/I-895 is pretty unique and extremely confusing for a newbie. Accessing westbound US 40/Pulaski Highway is simple enough, but the eastbound US 40/southbound I-895 ramp comes up very quickly - and you better hope you know which ramp goes to which road, or you're likely headed through the Harbor Tunnel. Once again though, button copy graces the westbound US 40/Pulaski Highway overhead exit sign. Let's hope the button copy signs continue to grace this stretch of road for a long time to come.
