==Transportation== Salisbury is served by two major highways—[[U.S. Route 13 in Maryland|U.S. Route 13]], one of the major north–south routes of the [[Delmarva Peninsula]], and [[U.S. Route 50 in Maryland|U.S. Route 50]], one of the major east–west routes on the peninsula. US 13 connects Salisbury to [[Dover, Delaware]] and [[Norfolk, Virginia]] and is known as the Ocean Highway, while US 50 serves as the main route between the [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]]/[[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] region and many of the major cities on Delmarva, including [[Ocean City, Maryland|Ocean City]]; it is known as the Ocean Gateway. US 13 and US 50 originally passed through the central business district, but have been subsequently rerouted onto the Salisbury Bypass, a 3/4 beltway around the city that allows through traffic on US 13 and US 50 to bypass the downtown area; earlier routes of both highways are now [[U.S. Route 13 Business (Salisbury, Maryland)|U.S. Route 13 Business]] and [[U.S. Route 50 Business (Salisbury, Maryland)|U.S. Route 50 Business]]. Earlier still, US 13 was routed along Division Street and US 50 along Main Street. The city is also served by [[Maryland Route 12]], a rural highway that connects Salisbury to the town of [[Snow Hill, Maryland|Snow Hill]], and [[Maryland Route 349]], a rural highway that connects Salisbury to [[Nanticoke, Maryland|Nanticoke]] and [[Quantico, Maryland|Quantico]].
