Upon reaching the state house of Maryland, MD 70 comes to its southern terminus as traffic is diverted onto College Avenue. This photo shows State Circle, which surrounds the capitol building. The road system in this part of Annapolis can be confusing, with angled streets and one way streets. Signs are fairly plentiful to assist in getting around the downtown area.
