Other important road connections are the Finnish Regional road 170 going via [[Sipoo]] to Helsinki, which continues from the [[East Helsinki]] area to the capital under the name [[Itäväylä]], and the [[Finnish national road 55|main road 55]] leading northwest, via [[Monninkylä]] of [[Askola]], to the [[Mäntsälä]] municipality.
