Burbank Boulevard is a major east–west arterial road that runs for 17.5 miles (28.2 km) across the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and Burbank, California.

Name

Burbank Boulevard was named after David Burbank, a dentist and rancher whose land helped establish the city of Burbank. Prior to 1924, Burbank Boulevard was known as Central Avenue.

Route

Burbank Boulevard travels east–west across almost the entire San Fernando Valley. A gap in Woodland Hills and Tarzana breaks the road into two parts: a 4 mile section to the west and a 13.5 mile section to the east. The western section starts at the entrance to Hidden Hills and travels through most of Woodland Hills, while the eastern section travels from Tarzana, through Encino, Sherman Oaks, Valley Village, North Hollywood, and into Burbank.

The street is four lanes or more for almost its entire length. The road slightly turns at the Los Angeles/Burbank border, traveling east–west in Los Angeles and east-northeast west-southwest in Burbank.
