Maryland Route 500 (MD 500) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. The highway starts at the District of Columbia boundary at Avondale. It is a continuation of Washington D.C.'s Michigan Avenue. As Queens Chapel Road, MD 500 continues north for 2.22 miles (3.57 km) to MD 410 (East-West Highway) in Hyattsville. In the late 1980s, MD 500 was truncated at MD 410 when University Park took over the highway prior to the construction of the Metro Green Line underneath the town. The portion of Queens Chapel Road that ran through University Park became a local neighborhood road.
