Highway system

Finnish regional road 167 (Finnish: Seututie 167, Swedish: Regionalväg 167) is an north–south road, which in the north starts from the city centre of Lahti in the Päijät-Häme region and continues south through the centres of Orimattila and Myrskylä all the way to the Loviisa's Koskenkylä in the Uusimaa region. The road condition is relatively poor.[1]

Traffic volumes on the road vary greatly on different sections. Between the centre of Lahti and Renkomäki, traffic volumes average around 14,000 vehicles/day, and between Renkomäki and Orimattila around 7,000–10,000 vehicles/day. These sections correspond to a busy highway in terms of traffic volumes. Between Orimattila and Myrskylä, the average traffic volume on the road is 1,500 vehicles/day, which is typical for main roads, and between Myrskylä and Koskenkylä, the traffic volume on the road is mainly less than a thousand vehicles/day.[2]

Regional road 167 has been proposed as a class II main road to be upgraded.[3]
