The Burwood Highway is a major transportation link with Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It begins in the suburb of Burwood at the intersection of Warrigal and Toorak Roads, and finishes in Belgrave in the Dandenong Ranges.
The highway is considered a major link for people who live in the Dandenong Ranges, as it is the only major feeder roadway in the general area other than Canterbury Road. The highway is known for the Route 75 tram line which runs down the median of the highway from Burwood to Vermont South. The 732 bus route also runs along the majority of the highway connecting Box Hill with Upper Ferntree Gully and provides a fast link between the Vermont South tram terminus with Knox City. The highway features many shopping centres including the first Kmart built in Australia, Vermont South Shopping Centre, Knox City Shopping Centre along with its sister outdoor area Knox O-Zone and Mountain Gate Shopping Centre.
The road route shield changes to C412 from Upper Ferntree Gully to Belgrave.
