The junction assembly for the Highway 590/11/17
intersection that is located just west of Kakabeka Falls. This sign is
slightly atypical because the MTO has chosen to use 'EAST' tabs underneath
the 11 and 17 squares instead of straight arrows. Highway 590 leads
west and south from Highway 11/17 and heads to Nolalu.

Highway 102 is an alternate to the Trans-Canada
Highway from Shabaqua to Thunder Bay. The only reason I can see why
Highway 102 didn't assume the Trans-Canada Highway designation, is that it
bypasses scenic Kakabeka Falls, which is a popular tourist attraction for
many motorists venturing across Northwestern Ontario.
