Maryland Route 808 (MD 808) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Maryland. Officially MD 808A and known as Main Street, the state highway runs 2.34 miles (3.77 km) from Ridgeville Boulevard north to MD 27 within Mount Airy. MD 808 follows the Carroll–Frederick county line for a portion of its length near its southern terminus. The county line portion is considered to be in Carroll County for maintenance purposes. MD 808 is the old alignment of MD 27 through Mount Airy. A portion of Main Street was paved by 1910; the sections south and north of the town center were constructed in the early 1910s and late 1910s, respectively. MD 808 was assigned to Main Street after MD 27's bypass of Mount Airy was completed in the mid-1970s.
MD 808 begins at an intersection with Ridgeville Boulevard, the original route of U.S. Route 40, in the Ridgeville section of Mount Airy. Main Street continues south as a municipal street to an intersection with MD 27 just north of that highway's interchange with Interstate 70 and U.S. Route 40 (Baltimore National Pike). MD 808 heads north through residential subdivisions following the Carroll–Frederick county line on top of a ridge. South of Sunset Avenue, the state highway fully enters Carroll County. MD 808 continues north through the Mount Airy Historic District, where the highway crosses paths with the former right-of-way of the Mount Airy Loop of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The state highway passes Buffalo Road, which forms the Carroll–Frederick county line for several miles, and Waterville Road before leaving the town limits. MD 808 passes through the hamlet of Dorceytown before reaching its northern terminus at an intersection with MD 27 (Ridge Road).
