Stony Plain, Alberta near the hamlet of Carvel, where it's known as Parkland Highway given the provincial highway number 16A.

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.
