context_page_description: The Western Ring Road Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians that bridges the northern suburbs and follows the Western Ring Road freeway in Melbourne, Australia. It intercepts many other paths making possible a large variety of circuits for the recreational cyclist.
context_section_description: The western end of the path starts at the end of Merino Street in Sunshine West, where it branches off from the Federation Trail.
  Following the path is mainly straightforward, as it runs parallel to the Western Ring Road. However, there are some exceptions along the way. In particular these points should be reviewed before heading out for a pedal or a jog:  Keilor Park Drive, Malvern and Coventry Streets, the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail intersection, Jacana Station and the Craigieburn Bypass Trail intersection.
  The eastern end of the path starts at the roundabout, at the intersection of  Diamond Creek Road, the Greensborough Bypass and Civic Drive in Greensborough, 1.2 km east of the Plenty River Trail turnoff.
