The Highway 23 Ends junction assembly is located
at the far side of the intersection of Highways 7 and 23. Highway 7
continues west of Highway 23 as well, but WB Highway 7 traffic has already
departed SB Highway 23 via a ramp. I think the MTO would be wise to
erect an advanced sign denoting the end of Highway 23 that would be visible
by all traffic using Highway 23. |

This signs were just days old when this Photo
was taken, and who among us can resist the allure of brand new signage?
The junction assembly is of the newest style where the assembly is simply
stamped onto one unified piece of wood.

Junction assembly for the western Highway 86
junction. Before 1998, what is signed as Perth County Road 86 was part
of the King's Highway network as Highway 86. In the webmaster's
opinion it seems rather obscene that Listowel would not be connected to
Waterloo via a consistently numbered provincial highway.
