Major in-town streets include the 16th St Mall, which runs north to south and is a major pedestrian thoroughfare downtown with free shuttle service up and down the mall. At the end of the mall is Colfax Avenue, which runs east to west and marks the southern end of downtown. To the north is Market St, a major gateway to many of Central Denver's entertainment hot spots. Major highways include Interstate-70 to the north of downtown and Interstate-25 to the west of town.
