U.S. Route 13 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 13 that passes through Pocomoke City in Worcester and Somerset Counties in Maryland.

Salisbury, Maryland Business Route

Template:MDUSbus U.S. Route 13 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 13 that passes through Salisbury and Fruitland in Wicomico County, Maryland. The route preserves the old alignment of US 13 after the Salisbury Bypass was completed.

It begins at the southern end of the Salisbury Bypass south of Fruitland. It then continues north through the town of Fruitland where it is known as Fruitland Boulevard. In Fruitland, the route intersects Maryland Route 513, which provides a connection to the Salisbury Bypass. Business U.S. 13 then enters the city of Salisbury where it takes on the name Salisbury Boulevard. The route passes by the campus of Salisbury University and continues north towards downtown Salisbury. In the downtown area, the route intersects the northern terminus of Maryland Route 12. It then continues north and features an interchange with U.S. Route 50 Business, the Salisbury Parkway, which was U.S. Route 50 until 2003, when an extension of the Salisbury Bypass was completed that allowed US 50 to bypass Salisbury. Business U.S. 13 then continues through the northern part of Salisbury, and it ends at an interchange with the US 13/US 50 Salisbury Bypass. Salisbury Boulevard continues north through the commercial district of Salisbury as US 13.
