Mount Vernon Road continues west as a county highway into the population center of Mount Vernon, while the state highway heads east as a two-lane undivided road through a mix of farmland and forest.

The farmland and forest give way to residences as MD 362 approaches Princess Anne.

A park and ride lot is located at the southwest corner of the intersection.

After crossing US 13, MD 362 expands to a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane, passing through a commercial area before reaching its eastern terminus at MD 675 (Somerset Avenue) on the north side of downtown Princess Anne.

[1][2] The first section of MD 362 was built as a modern highway from the original alignment of US 13 in Princess Anne in 1929.
