Maryland Route 850 (MD 850) is a collection of state highways in the U.S. state of Maryland. These six highways are sections of old alignment of MD 26, most of which are named Old Liberty Road, in the communities of Taylorsville, Winfield, and Eldersburg in southern Carroll County. There are also three former sections of MD 850: two are in Eldersburg and one is in Frederick.

Frederick

MD 850K was the designation for the 0.31-mile (0.50 km) section of Market Street between MD 355, which headed south as Market Street and north as Routzahn Way, and a partial intersection with MD 26 on the north side of Frederick. MD 850K was transferred from the state highway system to municipal maintenance in 2009 concurrent with MD 355 being truncated south of Frederick.^[1][2]

Taylorsville–Winfield

• MD 850D is the designation for a pair of disjoint sections of Old Liberty Road on the eastbound side of MD 26 at the Frederick–Carroll county line near Taylorsville. The western segment runs 0.11 miles (0.18 km) from a dead end east to Buffalo Road, which follows the county boundary.^[1][3] The eastern segment runs 0.10 miles (0.16 km) from Roop Road east to a dead end.^[4][5] The 0.19-mile (0.31 km) section of Old Liberty Road between the disjoint segments of MD 850D was transferred from state to private maintenance in 2001.^[6] Prior to the transfer, MD 850D was one segment with a length of 0.40 miles (0.64 km); now the total length is 0.21 miles (0.34 km).^[1][4][6]

• MD 850E is the designation for a 0.78-mile (1.26 km) section of Old Liberty Road that follows the eastbound side of MD 26 from a dead end in Taylorsville east to an intersection with MD 26 in Winfield.^[4][8]
• MD 850I is the designation for a 0.02-mile (0.032 km) section of Old Liberty Road on the westbound side of MD 26 east of Winfield. MD 850I is connected to MD 26 by MD 26A.^[4]

There are a pair of former sections of MD 850 in Eldersburg. The two highways were removed from the state highway system in 2002.^[11]

The state highway was connected to MD 26 by county-maintained Linton Road. The eastern end of former MD 850G has been obliterated by new suburban development.^[6][12]
• MD 850F was the designation for a 0.63-mile (1.01 km) stretch of old alignment of MD 26 on the eastbound side of the state highway between MD 26 and a dead end adjacent to the main highway's intersection with Martz Road. The state highway started as Emerald Lane, then turned east parallel to MD 26 and became Old Liberty Road.^[6][13]
