España Boulevard is an 8-lane road starting from the junction of Lerma Avenue and Nicanor Reyes Street, ending in the Mabuhay Rotonda (otherwise known as Welcome Rotonda) in Quezon City.

Quezon Avenue starts from the Mabuhay Rotunda and ends in the Elliptical Road. It is one of the most important thoroughfares of Quezon City. It runs through the center of the city, lined with palm trees, government buildings, and nightclubs. It uses an interchange system on most of its intersections. This road used to be one of the most comfortable roads in the area, but had been extremely prone to heavy traffic since the construction of the G. Araneta Avenue Underpass.[1]
