Langstaff Road, is a major thoroughfare in Vaughan, Ontario of York Region. The road is broken into three sections because of different reasons. Langstaff Road's sections include :
- From Highway 7 to Keele Street (in Thornhill)
- From Creditstone Road to Islington Avenue (in Concord/Woodbridge)
- From Vaughan Mills Road to Highway 50 (in Woodbridge)
The current purpose of the road was to relieve the heavy traffic going on Highway 7 and Rutherford Road. The original purpose was to remain the alignment of county roads because Highway 7 dives down south, abandoning its original alignment.
