U.S. Highway 40 Truck
A truck route for U.S. 40 exists within the city of Baltimore to serve in-city commercial traffic using the federal highway. The truck route bypasses the Franklin & Mulberry Streets and Orleans Street alignments of U.S. 40 between Edmondson Avenue and the Pulaski Highway. Although sparsely signed, U.S. 40 Truck follows the following route (west to east):
- Hilton Parkway north to North Avenue
- North Avenue east to Belair Road
- Belair Road north to Erdman Avenue
- Erdman Avenue south to the Pulaski Highway

Overlaps occur along the route with U.S. 1 along North Avenue between Monroe Street and Belair Road and on Belair Road between North Avenue and Erdman Avenue. U.S. 40 Truck cosigns with Maryland 151 on Erdman Avenue to an interchange with the Pulaski Highway at Interstate 895 (Harbor Tunnel Thruway). A companion U.S. 1 Truck route follows U.S. 40 Truck along Hilton Parkway and North Avenue between U.S. 40 and U.S. 1 respectively. U.S. 1 Truck continues south of Edmondson Avenue via Hilton Street to Caton Avenue and junction U.S. 1 (Wilkens Avenue). U.S. 1 Truck is signed even more sporadically than U.S. 40 Truck.
