Eastbound Highway 401 signage affixed to the Dixie Road overpass in Mississauga. Before the Highway 401/403 interchange was upgraded in the mid 1990s, the Highway 403 exit ramp from the Highway 401 express lanes exited from the left of the carriageway. Also, note how Highway 10 is indicated on the collector signage without any reference to "Hurontario Street". Summer of 1989.

Advance signage for Renforth Drive on the eastbound Highway 401 collector lanes in Mississauga. The orange strip across the sign reads "CLOSED NIGHTLY".
