Armadale Road is a major road in the south and south east of the Perth Metropolitan Area. It serves three purposes: firstly, providing a main route from Armadale to Fremantle; secondly, connecting Armadale to the Kwinana Freeway; and thirdly, since 2005, connecting it to the Tonkin Highway which ferries traffic to the eastern suburbs, Perth Airport and the Forrestfield and Kewdale industrial areas.
It commences at the Albany Highway/South Western Highway intersection in central Armadale, and follows the dismantled Spearwood–Armadale railway line west then northwest for 16.2 kilometres (10.1 mi) to terminate at the Kwinana Freeway/North Lake Road interchange in Cockburn Central. The road is signed as State Route 14 for almost its entire length, with the section west of Beeliar Drive unsigned.
