The M10 extends from Moskovsky Prospect, in Central Saint Petersburg, on Victory Square, and is known as Moscow Highway (Russian: Московское Шоссе).

M10, known as Leningrad Highway (Russian: Ленинградское шоссе), continues inside the city limits and terminates near the junction with Volokolamsk Highway. Both avenues merge in Leningradsky Prospekt which continues into 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street and then Tverskaya Street to Manege Square in the heart of Moscow.
