York Regional Road 72, or Langstaff Road, is a major thoroughfare in Vaughan, Ontario of York Region. The road is broken into three sections because of different reasons. The road's sections include :
- From Highway 7 to Keele Street
- From Jane Street to Islington Avenue
- From Highway 27 to Highway 50
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.
