Discontinuity:  Highway 7 was downloaded between Norval and Highway 48 in Markham between 1997 and 2001, leaving distinct western and eastern segments of the highway.

Road Info:  Highway 7 is in very good shape for this entire section of Highway.  Between Guelph and Brampton, though in good condition, the highway has a somewhat redundant routing.  The route features a lot of long curves, turns, and passes through several small communities.  In Peel and York Regions, the downloaded section of Highway 7 can be very congested, particularly in western Brampton, and at the 400, and 404 junctions.  In York Region, Highway 7 is 6-lane at-grade urban expressway from Dufferin Street easterly Bayview Avenue.  From Markham easterly, though still very busy, Highway 7 typically moves very well, and has been recently rehabilitated almost entirely.
