National Highway Route No. 1, after it crosses Higashioji-dori Street, becomes the Gojo Bypass, merges with Shibutani-dori Street, runs through Higashiyama (Kyoto Prefecture) and continues to Yamashina Basin (the Gojo Bypass running in Yamashina Ward is widely referred to as Gojo-dori Street).
なお、国道1号は東大路通を立体交差で越えて五条バイパスとなり、渋谷通と合流して東山(京都府)を越え山科盆地へ続く(この山科区における五条バイパスも含めて、ひろく五条通と呼ばれることもある)。
