Greenspring Avenue begins inside of Druid Hill Park, near the Maryland Zoo. The first section, which is approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 km) long, is mostly lined with high-rise and garden apartments. This section ends at Northern Parkway, at Sinai Hospital, and across from Cylburn Park. From here, a left and then a right two blocks later is required to continue along Greenspring.
The next section of Greenspring Avenue starts off of Northern Parkway about one block west of Sinai Hospital, and continues for about 3/4 of a mile to a five-way intersection consisting of Cross Country Boulevard and Pimlico Road, in an area known as Cheswolde. A right turn is required here to continue along Greenspring.
The third and longest section of Greenspring Avenue continues from this intersection for about 10 miles (16 km) until the end of the name Greenspring Avenue for the road. However, the road physically continues beyond this point and is known as Worthington Avenue for the next mile and a half. It finally continues into Butler Road (Maryland Route 128) before it reaches Hanover Pike (Maryland Route 30), at which point going straight will lead to I-795. This section of the road can be accessed from the Baltimore Beltway at exit 22.

Famous quotes containing the word sections:
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks ... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries.... Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don’t bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Childhood lasts all through life. It returns to animate broad sections of adult life.... Poets will help us to find this living childhood within us, this permanent, durable immobile world.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
