City of Ottawa Eastbound advanced signage for Blair Road.  Likely because Highway 17 was downloaded, Highway 17's guide sign stock is quite old, predating MTO's switch to rounded advanced arrows.

City of Ottawa

Looking westerly towards Highway 417 from Blair Road.  Notice the old rounded street lighting.  When the Ottawa Queensway was first constructed in the 1960s, all illuminated sections of the freeway were lit with this light design.

City of Ottawa Looking easterly from the Blair Road overpass towards the eastbound OC Transpo flyover.  The narrow median coupled with cable median barrier is very reminiscent of the QEW through Niagara Region during the 1970s and 80s.

City of Ottawa  Eastbound guide signage at the Montreal Road interchange.  The MTO used an odd mix of the standard regional road 'flower pot' shield with Ottawa's stylized shield when they signed Highway 17 through Eastern Carleton County.

City of Ottawa This view looks westerly along Highway 17 from the Champlain Street overpass.  The pedestrian overpass pictured in the photo links Place d'Orléans, a large suburban shopping mall to both the eastbound and westbound OC Transpo stations as well as a carpark to the north of the freeway.

City of Ottawa Overhead guide signage for the Champlain Street et al. interchange.  In terms of modern-day highway signage in Ontario, this exit signage is huge!  It would be difficult to convert this to a modern design.

(720x480)     (1440x960)     (2400x1600)

City of Ottawa Guide signage northbound along Tenth Line for old Highway 17, now Ottawa road 174.  This sign was obviously very hastily overlaid by Ottawa staff after accepting the transferred Highway 17.

Photo taken: July 24th, 2011.

(720x480)     (1440x960)

City of Ottawa Two views looking easterly along Highway 17 from the Tenth Line Road overpass.  The eastbound off-ramp for Tenth Line has a fairly substantial structure over seemingly nothing between the freeway and its terminus at a set of traffic lights.  Oddly, the eastbound on-ramp from Tenth Line doesn't feature a simmilar structure.

City of Ottawa Westbound advanced signage for the 10th Line interchange along Highway 17.  The 10th Line interchange was completed in 1994.  Notice the similar style of the signage and gantry to that of Hamilton's Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway, or "Linc".  Unsurprisingly, the "Linc" was completed only a few years after the Tenth Line interchange.

City of Ottawa This view looks westerly along Old Highway 17 at the beginning of the divided highway through Orléans.  Beyond the intersection at Trim Road, Highway 17 (via its successor Highway 417) is a full freeway for nearly 85km westerly through to Arnprior (as of 2011).
