Stony Plain Road is a major road in and around Edmonton, Alberta.

The road starts west of Stony Plain, Alberta near the hamlet of Carvel, where it's known as Parkland Highway given the provincial highway number 16A. Parkland Highway goes through the bedroom communities of Stony Plain, where it is a central thoroughfare, and Spruce Grove where it is the southern boundary. At Acheson it intersects with Highway 60. The Parkland Highway then becomes known as Stony Plain Road on the outskirts of Edmonton.

Stony Plain Road enters the city at Winterburn Road, near the neighbourhood of Stewart Greens. Soon after entering the city limit the westbound and eastbound traffic lanes separate into two separate one-way streets. Stony Plain Road in this areas refers only the eastbound traffic, while westbound traffic uses 100 Avenue. Both sections crosses Edmonton's outer ring road, Anthony Henday Drive. South twin roads to the east of Hendy lies the residential neighbouhood of La Perle, and to the north the commercial zone known as Place LaRue. At this point the road is mostly lined with big-box stores, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial activity catering to travelers and commuters. This is especially true near the intersection with 170 Street. After 170 Street the road again caries both directions of traffic, but 100 Avenue remains a one-way street until 163 Street. East of 170 Street the road passes by the Mayfield Common strip mall, and through some mixed residential-commercial areas in Glenwood and the low-income Britannia Youngstown neighbourhood. Then it separates Canora on the north from West Jasper Place to the south. 100 Avenue passes by Grant MacEwan College's Centre for the Arts Campus before merging back into Stony Plain Road at 149 Street. Reunited Stony Plain Road passes through the Grovenor neighbourhood just north of the McKinnon Ravine. At this point the road enters the quiet, upscale residential neighbourhoods of Glenora and, after passing over Groat Road, Westmount. After crossing 124 Street, the road's name changes to 104 Avenue.

terminal.

At this point the road changes names again to 103A Avenue as it passes CN Tower, and Edmonton City Hall. As it moves east, 103A Avenue passes through Chinatown until it merges into Jasper Avenue.
