Finnish Regional Road 120
Finnish regional road 120 (, ), or Vihti Road (, ), is a regional road from Haaga in Helsinki to Maikkala in Vihti. The road is part of the former Pori Highway.

However, the Helsinki-side section of the road up to Ring III has later been widened to four lanes, but the beginning of Vihdintie in Etelä-Haaga from Mannerheimintie to Haaga roundabout is street-like. The regional road also passes Highway 25 at the village of Otalampi. Significant commercial centers along Vihdintie include the Ristikko Shopping Centre in the Konala district.
