Description
Stonytown Road runs east-west through the incorporated villages of Flower Hill, Plandome, and Plandome Manor. The road serves as a main west-east route through portions of all three villages, and is the main access road for the Plandome station on the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch, as well as the Plandome Post Office (located at the station).

The road is classified as a major collector roadway by the New York State Department of Transportation and is eligible for federal aid.

Additionally, the portion of Stonytown Road in Flower Hill was formerly maintained by the County of Nassau, through the Nassau County Department of Public Works. When this segment was a county-maintained road, it was designated as Nassau County Route 143, before being re-numbered as CR E43 and then ultimately being transferred back to the Village in the 2000s.

Route description
Stonytown Road's western terminus is at the intersection of Plandome Road and North Plandome Road in Plandome Manor. Continuing east, it passes Leeds Pond and enters Plandome, continuing towards the east, passing the Plandome Country Club. It then continues east, crossing underneath the Long Island Rail Road's Port Washington Branch and a portion of the platform at the Plandome LIRR station before re-entering Plandome Manor. The road continues through Plandome Manor until entering Flower Hill just west of Manhasset Woods Road. Stonytown Road then continues through Flower Hill to its eastern terminus, at Port Washington Boulevard (NY 101).

As of 2019, the portions of Stonytown Road within the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill are maintained by the Flower Hill Department of Public Works, the portions within the Incorporated Village of Plandome are maintained by the Plandome Department of Public Works, and the portions within the Incorporated Village of Plandome Manor are maintained by the Plandome Manor Department of Public Works.

Bicycle and pedestrian path
The portion of Stonytown Road between the Plandome Long Island Rail Road station in Plandome Manor and its eastern terminus in Flower Hill features a dedicated bicycle and walking path. This dedicated bicycle and pedestrian pathway was constructed in the 2010s to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians along the road.
