The village is situated next to the M62 motorway near junction 23 close to the Calderdale and Kirklees district boundary. The A640 New Hey Road passes through the village.

Outlane Cricket Club objected to the building of the motorway in the 1960s as it would go through their ground. However the Ministry of Transport turned it down. Outlane has a golf course that borders the motorway.
