Road Info:  Highway 52 is in fair condition for its entire length.  The highway is actually a fairly important road, given that it links Peter's Corners directly with Highway 403 near Ancaster.  That said, it was however, not well maintained by the province.  The right of way, and subsequently the road surface and shoulders are very narrow.  The City of Hamilton has tried to correct this with the resurfacing of the highway, however the cleared right of way is still quite narrow, and the new driving surface is not much wider.  Hamilton does not do a very good job designing or maintaining its county road network.  Much of Highway 52 has a posted speed limit of 70km/h, and with a high volume of trucks, it is a pain to traverse at the best of times.

Current Southern Terminus of Highway 52 is located at Highway 5
