Shaw Boulevard (formerly known as Jose Rizal Boulevard and Pasig Boulevard; commonly known as Crossing) is a 4-8 lane highway connecting the cities of Mandaluyong and Pasig in the Philippines. The boulevard is named after William James Shaw, founder of the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club in Mandaluyong. The road is one of the major thoroughfares of the Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong and Pasig, housing many shopping malls like the Starmall shopping center and the posh Shangri-La Plaza at the EDSA-Shaw intersection and The Marketplace, which is visible from the Kalentong-Shaw intersection and Sevilla Bridge.
It is served by the Shaw Boulevard station of the MRT-3 along EDSA, often called EDSA-Crossing. Bus and jeepney routes serve the entirety of the road, going to and from Quiapo, Santa Mesa, the José Rizal University, EDSA, Ortigas Center, the Pasig Public Market, and Binangonan, Rizal.
