This view looks northerly along Highway 24 where
Highway 5 ran concurrent with Highway 24. Note the rather odd
four-lane cross-section. Few rural highways in Ontario were ever built
to a four lane cross-section without a flush median to separate opposing
flows.

This view looks northerly approaching the
eastern Highway 5 junction. This junction was extensively reconstructed in
2007. A reconstruction activity that included the removal of two rather
substantial channels that formerly facilitated direct right turn movements
between Highway 5 and 24.

Looking west towards the northern Highway 24
junction west of St. George. At this junction, through traffic must
turn left to continue along Highway 5. The installation of traffic
signals was a welcome addition to this intersection, however it is a shame
it came at the cost of the former northbound to eastbound channel.

Following the signage listing the route designations that radiate from the
roundabout is this sign that indicates destinations from the roundabout
ahead. It is typical at Ontario Roundabouts for destinations to be signed
independently of the route designations.

An ends sign stands to delineate the eastern terminus of Highway 8 at the
far side of the Hamilton Road 8 intersection. Prior to 1998, Highway 8
extended easterly beyond Peters Corners along what has become Hamilton Road
8 into Dundas and Hamilton.

Distance signage facing westbound motorists along Highway 5 west of the
Highway 6 junction. Given the highways that remain in provincial
jurisdiction in this portion of south-central Ontario, this sign should list
Cambridge as a control city.

View looking easterly approaching the Highway 6 junction from Highway 5.
From this junction westerly, with the exception of a short segment within
the village of Waterdown itself, the former Highway 5 is no less than a four-lane
arterial highway easterly all the way to the Kingston Road interchange in Scarborough,
which is
some 50km away.

Westerly view at Clappinsons Corners. At one time this busy intersection
was home to numerous businesses catering to the weary traveler. During the
past decade these old buildings have been purchased and raised by the
Ontario Government in preparation for the construction of an interchange to
replace
this intersection. It is expected, though not official, that a new
partial cloverleaf interchange favouring Highway 6 will be constructed at
this location within the decade (text written in 2010).

This view looks southeasterly towards the structure that carries Highway 5
overtop of Highway 407. Highway 5 crosses Highway 407 on a large four
span structure due to the significant skew that the two highways intersect
at.

As part of a project to rehabilitate the southbound collector lanes of
Highway 427, the terminal of the southbound off-ramp to Highway 5 was
widened to include a three lane left turn onto eastbound Highway 5.
This was done to add a dedicated left turn lane to transit vehicles in order
to facilitate their movement into the diamond lane along Highway 5.
During this work, the channelized right turn onto Highway 5 West was also
removed.
