The Elliptical Road is a 1.98-kilometer (1.23 mi) roundabout in Quezon City, which circumscribes the Quezon Memorial Circle, a large park. It was named after its elliptical shape. The road is divided into eight lanes: three main lanes, four for exiting vehicles, and one for bicycles and pedicabs.
This area of Quezon City is sometimes called "Philcoa" (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈpilkɔwɐ]), after the Philippine Coconut Authority (PHILCOA), one of the government agencies headquartered there.
