Route description

MD 388 begins as two-lane undivided Antioch Avenue at an intersection with MD 675 (Somerset Avenue) in the center of Princess Anne. Antioch Avenue continues west two blocks as a municipal street. MD 388 heads east into farmland after crossing the Delmarva Central Railroad's Delmarva Subdivision track at-grade. The state highway's name changes to West Post Office Road after leaving the town limits of Princess Anne. After passing Freetown Road, MD 388 passes through a stretch of forest, where the highway meets the western end of Perryhawkin Road. After leaving the forest, the state highway reaches its eastern terminus when state maintenance ends at an arbitrary location between two farms. West Post Office Road continues east toward Meadow Bridge Road at the boundary between Somerset County and Worcester County just east of the historic post office in the hamlet of West that gives the road its name.[1][2]
