Road Trips - Highway 401

by kris-t

King's Highway 401 also known as the four-oh-one is 816.6 kilometers (507.4 mi) long and stretching from Windsor through Toronto to the Quebec border. The posted speed limit is 100 km/h (62 mph) throughout its length.Highway 401 begins at Huron Church Road in Windsor. The section of Highway 401 from Windsor to London (especially west of Tilbury) has the nickname Carnage Alley and is known for deadly car accidents and pile-ups. This section is always overloaded with police cars.Highway 401 widens to a total of 18 lanes south of Toronto Pearson International Airport but still is often congested in this section. Highway 401 features about 19 service centers witch were completely rebuild and reopened in 2010-2011.

The Bruce Peninsula-Manitoulin Island ferry

by Bwana_Brown

Hiking the Bruce Peninsula was one of our main objectives on this trip and once we had done that, I did not want to have to make the long drive back around the south shore of Georgian Bay in order to continue our westward trip. Thanks to the government of Ontario, the car/truck ferry MS 'Chi-Cheemaun' provides transporation service between Tobermory (on the tip of the peninsula) and Manitoulin Island which is connected to the northern mainland by a small bridge. It can be a busy run in the peak tourist months of July/August, so I made advance reservations by phone with the Owen Sound Transportation Company. Securing passage on the 11:20 AM crossing from Tobermory on July 17 cost C$34.70 for the car, $31.90 for two adults and $20 for an optional Guarantee to ensure passage if you arrive late at the boarding line-up.According to Wikipedia, this $12 million ferry was built by the now...

You can't do without a car in Canada

by Bwana_Brown

Well, you can but it is not easy if you want to explore parts of the country that are a long way from any large cities. In our case, in 2007 I took up my new job in Regina, Saskatchewan so fast that we had to leave our 2004 Honda Accord behind in Fredericton, NB as Sue and I drove west through the USA in our older 1996 Chrysler. Once I was settled in, Sue flew back to Fredericton and used the Honda until she flew out to join me 8 months later, leaving the car behind.This time, we both flew back to New Brunswick to attend a wedding and then made the return trip a vacation as we finally drove the Honda out to Regina. The rear seats were loaded with four winter tires already mounted on their rims and the trunk had two suitcases, a travel bag, two backpacks, a sewing machine, a small food cooler, a laptop and a few other odds and ends. Everything went well as we cruised along mostly on...

by car

by davecallahan

The 400-series of roads in Ontario are a nicely maintained and routed set of highways.Route 401 traverses the whole southern border of the province from Quebec to Detroit.Route 402 extends route 401's access up to Lake Huron.Route 403 connects route 401 to the eastern tip of Lake Ontario.Routes 405 and 407 extend route 401 to the Niagara Falls area.Route 406 pushes down towards Lake Erie from route 405.Route 400 traverses Ontario from south to north.Route 416 connects route 401 to route 417.Routes 417/17 traverse Ontario on its northern borders.Route 420 connects Buffalo to Niagara Falls.You cannot go anywhere in Ontario without making some use of this fine set of highways.

407 Electronic Toll Route

by MissAntarctica2002

Ontario's only toll route is Highway 407. It is unusual in that there are no toll booths anywhere along the 407. As an electronic toll route a photo of the license plate is taken when each car enters the 407 and then again at the exit. Based on that, a bill is sent to whomever the vehicle is registered to. (Those who travel the 407 frequently can acquire a transponder) It is a convenient way to be billed for tolls, however visitors to Ontario are sometimes caught unawares by this and subsequently become upset.

Drive the Trans Canada Highway

by windsorgirl

Many Ontarians take a short cut through the US when heading out to western Canada. I really enjoyed the extra kilometres that I travelled along the Trans Canada north over Lake Superior from Sault Ste Marie to Thunder Bay. There is wonderful scenery and many provincial parks to camp at along the way.This photo was taken near Marathon.

And this is where Stayner is

by sim1

Here is a map where you can see where my 'homebase' has been for the year that I lived in Ontario. It is a little village called Stayner, about 1 1/2 north of Toronto, 30 minutes west of Barrie, and about 20 minutes east of Collingwood.The easiest way to get to Stayner from Toronto is by taking "Airport Road" Which goes directly from Toronto Airport to Stayner. It's a two lane road, so it isn't that quickly driving, but it is the most direct way to get here. And besides being the shortest route it is also a scenic road, so it's fun to drive.The other way is to take highway 400 to Barrie, and there take the 26 west to Stayner.

Salt and sand for the roads

by sim1

In almost every village you'll find these strange buildings. They are for storage of sand and salt that is used in the winter months for the icy roads. There is a lot of snow in this area, so this is no luxery at all.
