State Route 17 (SR 17) is an eastwest highway in Northeast Ohio running from North Olmsted at State Route 10 to State Route 43 in Bedford Heights. The entire route has been paralleled by Interstate 480 and has junctions with this interstate via numerous cross streets such as Clague Road, Tiedeman Road, and Warrensville Center Road, and also via State Route 94 (State Road) and State Route 14 (Broadway Avenue). It also has two direct junctions with the interstate. State Route 17 provides access to many industrial and commercial areas in this area of Cleveland.

The western terminus of State Route 17 is the intersection of Brookpark Road and Lorain Road (State Route 10) adjacent to Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted. SR 17 follows Brookpark Road east and passes into Fairview Park and then Cleveland as it passes Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. After passing the airport, it enters Brook Park. At West 130th Street, Brookpark Road serves as a border, first between Brook Park and Cleveland, then Brooklyn and Parma, followed by Parma and Cleveland, and finally Brooklyn Heights and Cleveland. As the road crosses into Brooklyn Heights and crossed I-480 it is known as Granger Road, which continues into Independence and Garfield Heights. In Garfield Heights, Granger Road veers to the southeast, while SR 17 continues east onto Libby Road and into Maple Heights. After crossing into Bedford Heights, SR 17 turns to the northeast onto Bartlett Road. At Meuti Drive, just before passes under I-480, it is briefly cosigned with eastbound SR 43 until it meets its western terminus at Aurora Road (SR 43).
