United States Numbered Highways |
U.S. Route 13 (US 13) runs along the Atlantic coastline for over 500 miles (800 km), passing through five states. Along its route, it possessed numerous bannered routes, which are all loops off the mainline US 13. At present, there are at least fourteen bannered routes in existence: three in North Carolina, five in Virginia, two in Maryland, and four in Delaware. Five others have existed in the past, but have been deleted.

| Location: | Suffolk, Virginia |
U.S. Route 13 Business is a business route of U.S. Route 13 serving the City of Suffolk in the U.S. state of Virginia. It consists of the original routing of the highway before mainline US 13 was rerouted onto a freeway bypass to the west and north of the city. It begins near Suffolk Municipal Airport, where US 13 leaves the roadway at a trumpet interchange, travelling west, while US 13 Business continues north on Carolina Road. As it travels deeper into the city, it intersects Washington Street, which carries Virginia State Route 337, and US 13 Business turns eastward onto this street. It circles the city on this street until it meets the business routes of U.S. Route 58 and U.S. Route 460. Here, US 13 Business joins this roadway, known as Portsmouth Boulevard, leaving VA 337 to continue on its own northward. After a short stretch, the three-route overlap of business routes rejoin their mainline route, US 13/58/460, at a directional interchange (with no access to the southbound/westbound carriageway from the northbound business route) and resumes toward Norfolk.

| Location: | Pocomoke City, Maryland |
| Length: | 2.48 mi[1] (3.99 km) |
U.S. Route 13 Business is a 2.48-mile (3.99-km)[1] business route of U.S. Route 13 that passes through Pocomoke City in Worcester and Somerset Counties in Maryland.
The route begins south of Pocomoke City; US 13's four-lane divided mainline curves away to the right around the town, while US 13 Business continues straight ahead as a two-lane town street.
After intersecting MD 366 the route connects with the original southern terminus of US 113, the latter having been rolled back to terminate at mainline US 13. For a time, the marooned segment was part of MD 250, but is now designated MD 250A. Continuing north the route heads towards the city waterfront and business district, passing through a pair of intersections with traffic lights permanently set to "flash" mode due to lack of traffic.
The route soon reaches the Pocomoke River, crossing it on a drawbridge that was first constructed in the 1920s, reconstructed in the 1990s, and continues in active service today. After crossing the river the route heads out of town into rural surroundings before terminating on US 13 at the southern terminus of MD 364.
The route was originally created as a segment of Maryland Route 675 by 1975, when the four-lane divided Ocean Highway opened around the eastern and northern edges of the town for US 13, allowing through traffic to avoid congested inner-city streets.[2] The road was eventually designated US 13 Business.

U.S. Route 13 Alternate |

| Location: | Wilmington, Delaware |
| Length: | 8.70 mi[3] (14.00 km) |
U.S. Route 13 Alternate was an 8.70-mile (14-km) [3] alternate alignment of U.S. Route 13 located in the city of Wilmington in the U.S. state of Delaware. It was commissioned in 1940[6] in order to provide an easterly bypass of U.S. Route 13 from the southern city limit of Wilmington north to Claymont. In the 1970s,[6] U.S. Route 13 Alternate was replaced by U.S. Route 13, and the alignment of US 13 through Wilmington became U.S. Route 13 Business (essentially a route swap).
Southbound US 13, after it crossed the Brandywine Creek on the Market Street bridge, continued ahead on Market Street (which now is reached from right turn from King Street instead of going straight ahead). Then it turned left on 13th Street and right on French Street, and continued on French Street all the way down to Front Street. Then it turned left on Front Street and right on the then 2-way Walnut Street bridge, and soon after joined South Market Street, returning to the alignment that Business US 13 now uses. Part of this alignment is no longer driveable; part of French Street was permanently blocked for the Customs House Square project, and S. Walnut Street (including the Walnut Street bridge) is northbound only.
