The Dandenong Valley Highway (also predominantly known as Stud Road and Dandenong Frankston Road) stretches almost 30 kilometres from Wantirna South in Melbourne's eastern suburbs to Frankston in the south. For its entire length, its main name is not actually Dandenong Valley Highway, and very few locals use it. The traffic on the highway has been significant over the years with the worst bottlenecks at Burwood Highway, Ferntree Gully Road, Wellington Road, Princes Highway, and Thompsons Road, but since the opening of the EastLink, the traffic burden has significantly reduced along the highway with the north-south tollway, opening to traffic on 29 June 2008.

Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or highway:
“I will frankly declare, that after passing a few weeks in this valley of the Marquesas, I formed a higher estimate of human nature than I had ever before entertained. But alas! since then I have been one of the crew of a man-of-war, and the pent-up wickedness of five hundred men has nearly overturned all my previous theories.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The highway leads to Heaven, but each finds his own way.”
—Chinese proverb.
