Route Description
MD 122 begins at an intersection with Rolling Road. The roadway continues west as the county-maintained portion of Security Boulevard, a four-lane divided highway that leads to an annex of the main headquarters complex. MD 122 heads east as a six-lane divided highway through a commercial area. The state highway intersects Belmont Avenue just north of Security Square Mall before its partial cloverleaf interchange with I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) just north of the Beltway's stack interchange with I-70. There is no access between MD 122 and I-70 via I-695. East of the Beltway, the state highway intersects Woodlawn Drive and Gwynn Oak Avenue and passes along the northern edge of the Social Security Administration headquarters complex. East of the complex, MD 122 parallels Dead Run east and then southeast through a forested area, becoming four lanes at its intersection with Forest Park Avenue and Ingleside Avenue, the latter of which has a ramp to westbound I-70. The state highway continues through a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-70 just west of the Interstate's eastern terminus at a park and ride facility. At its southern intersection with Forest Park Avenue and an entrance ramp to the park and ride, MD 122 reduces to two lanes and its name changes to Cooks Lane for the very short remainder of the highway to the boundary between Baltimore County and the city of Baltimore. Cooks Lane continues as an unnumbered residential street southeast through the West Hills neighborhood of Baltimore to US 40 (Edmondson Avenue).

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
