'''Yass Valley Way'''<ref>[http://www.yass.nsw.gov.au/roads/1480/2214.html Yass Valley Council Engineering services: Road Classifications], ''Yass Valley Council''. Retrieved 21 May 2008.</ref> is the main road which links [[Yass, New South Wales]]<ref>[http://www.yass.com.au/ yass.com.au - Yass NSW Australia - Yass's Website], ''Yass Own Website''. Retrieved 21 May 2008.</ref> to the [[Hume Highway]] (to [[Sydney]] and [[Melbourne]]) and to the [[Barton Highway]] (to [[Canberra]]) in Australia. The road is about 18 km long and runs parallel to the [[Yass River]]. It was created when the Hume Highway bypass of Yass was built in the early 1990s. This cleared the massive [[traffic bottleneck]] that plagued Yass due to the passing interstate traffic. After the completion of the bypass, local traffic predominates.
