Maryland Route 594 (MD 594) is an unsigned state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Wayne Avenue, the highway runs 1.40 miles (2.25 km) from U.S. Route 29 (US 29) east to Flower Avenue within Silver Spring in southeastern Montgomery County.

Route description

MD 594 (officially MD 594A) begins at the intersection of US 29 (Georgia Avenue) and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring. Wayne Avenue continues west as a county highway toward the Silver Spring Transit Center and MD 384 (Colesville Road). MD 594 heads northeast as a four-lane divided highway to Fenton Street, where the highway passes the Silver Spring Library. The highway continues east as a four-lane undivided highway out of downtown Silver Spring. MD 594 descends into the valley of Sligo Creek and intersects Dale Drive, at the corner of which the highway passes Silver Spring International Middle School, which inhabits the former campus of Montgomery Blair High School. The highway intersects Sligo Creek Parkway immediately after it crosses Sligo Creek. MD 594 ascends from the stream valley as a two-lane street to its eastern terminus at Flower Avenue. Wayne Avenue continues east to a dead end at Long Branch, a tributary of Sligo Creek.[1][2]
