List of numbered roads in Kawartha Lakes

"A map of the entire City of Kawartha Lakes, outlined by a grey line. The lakes, rivers, and roads of the region are shown. Lakes and rivers are dotted across the region and represented by blue shapes and lines. Kawartha Lakes is shaped like a cross which has been stretched vertically, and is approximately one quarter as wide as it is tall. For identification purposes, the remaining items are described in reference to the horizontal and vertical bar of the cross. Provincial highways, labelled, cross the map in several locations: Highway 35 bisects the entire map, travelling vertically from the bottom-centre to the upper-right along the vertical bar. Highway 7 crosses horizontally just below the mid-point from the left; After crossing Highway 35, it proceeds at an angle to the bottom right corner of the horizontal bar. Highway 7A is a straight and horizontal, bisecting the map below the horizontal arm of the cross. Highway 115, shown as two lines as it is a divided freeway, occupies a small space near the bottom-right corner of the vertical bar, crossing it at a forty-five degree angle up and to the right. The remaining black lines represent the numbered city roads."

The numbered roads in Kawartha Lakes account for 650 kilometres (403.9 mi) of roads in the Canadian province of Ontario.[note 1][1] These roads[note 2] include King's Highways that are signed and maintained by the province, as well as the county roads under the jurisdiction of the County of Bruce. The third type of existing roadway in the single-tier municipality of Kawartha Lakes is locally maintained roads also called concession roads and sidelines, which are beyond the scope of this article. A fourth category of roads, secondary highways, have not existed within the region since 1998.

The 49 numbered routes provide year-round access to the mostly rural municipality. The longest of these roads is Highway 35, which stretches 88.9 kilometres (55.2 mi) across the Bruce Peninsula from Hepworth, Ontario to Tobermory. The shortest numbered road is Kawartha Lakes Road 3, Hartley Road, a causeway just less than a kilometre long crossing Mitchell Lake.

Before 1998, several additional King's Highways and secondary highways were located in what was then known as Victoria County. These were transferred to the county in 1998. All county roads, including the former provincial highways, were renamed when Victoria County was abolished in 2001 and replaced with the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Types of roads

"An image of a signpost on a clear winter day. Behind the signpost are several leafless trees. To the left of the foot of the sign is the gravel shoulder of the road (not pictured) that it stands beside. The signpost is wooden, with three signs. Two are at the top, and one is centred below those. The top two are bullet-shaped signs with a king's crown on top. One is for Highway 7 and one for Highway 35. The sign below is green, with a white maple leaf in the centre. Above the leaf is a white banner with green text, reading "TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY". The centre of the leaf reads in green "CENTRAL ONTARIO ROUTE". Finally, a white banner with a hung appearance is below the leaf. The green text within the banner reads "ONTARIO""

King's Highways

There are 168.0 kilometres (104.4 mi) of provincially maintained highways,[note 3] termed "provincial highways" or "King's Highways" (a term adopted in 1930).[1][3]

As in the rest of Ontario, the provincially maintained highways in Kawartha Lakes are designated with a shield-shaped sign topped with a crown. The highway number is in the centre, with the word ONTARIO below. These signs are known as shields, but may be referred to as reassurance markers.[4] Highway 7, which is part of the Trans-Canada Highway,[5] is also marked with a green maple leaf shield. Highways 7 and 35 together measure 140.0 km (87.0 mi) and account for 82.3% of the length of highways. The remaining 30.2 km (18.8 mi) comprises Highway 115, a controlled-access freeway in the southern corner of the city; Highway 7A, an alternate route to Highway 7 around the Lindsay area; and Highway 7B, a business route through Lindsay.[1]

Provincially maintained highways generally have greater construction standards than municipally or locally maintained roads.[6] Although they are usually one lane in either direction, several short sections with two lanes in one direction as a passing lane exist along the highways. The municipality's lone freeway, Highway 115, is two lanes in either direction for its entire length. There are two off ramps with Highway 115 in the region: One with Road 20 (Boundary Road) at the southern boundary with Durham Region; and the other one with Road 32 (Porter Road) at Road 12 (Pontypool Road) at the eastern boundary with Peterborough County.[7]

City roads

There are 44 numbered city roads in Kawartha Lakes.[8] Kawartha Lakes city roads are signed with a flowerpot-shaped sign, as are most regional and county roads in Ontario. The road number appears in the centre of the sign, with the word KAWARTHA above and the word LAKES below. Like King's Highways, these signs are known as shields.[4] The total length of city roads is 739.3 kilometres (459.4 mi).[note 4]

History

"a dirt road crosses the centre of a lake on a clear day."
Hartley Road (Kawartha Lakes Road 3) crossing Mitchell Lake

The City of Kawartha Lakes was formed on January 1, 2001, and was known as Victoria County before that.[9] Alongside this change, all Victoria County Roads received Kawartha Lakes Road designations, with unchanged numbers,[1] and many new routes were established.[10][11]

Prior to 1998, Victoria County contained twelve King's Highways. As part of a province-wide transfer of highways to municipal governments, known as downloading, seven were given new Victoria County designations following the prior provincial designations. The exceptions are Highway 35A which was renumbered to fill a gap in the route of Victoria County Road 8, and Highway 36B which was given the new designation of Victoria County Road 17.[10][11]

The downloaded highways comprises Highway 35A, which was designated Victoria County Road 8; Highway 35B, incorporated into Highway 7B and Victoria County Road 15; Highway 36, designated as Victoria County Road 36; Highway 36B, designated as Victoria County Road 17; Highway 46, designated as Victoria County Road 46; Highway 48, designated as Victoria County Road 48; and Highway 121, designated as Victoria County Road 121.[10]

Highway 7B was also shortened by several kilometres, and now only consists of the portion along Kent Street in Lindsay.[10][11]

Secondary Highways

Three secondary highways, which existed in Victoria County prior to 1998, were also downloaded from the province to the county, and given new designations in addition to the downloading of King's Highways:[10][11]

  • Highway 503, which ran from Kirkfield to Kinmount, was renumbered as an extension of Victoria County Road 6 (Kirkfield to Sebright) and Victoria County Road 45 (Sebright to Kinmount).
  • Highway 505, which ran from Highway 48 near Victoria Road to Highway 503 in Uphill, was renumbered as an extension of Victoria County Road 35.
  • Highway 649, which ran from Bobcaygeon north to Highway 121, was renumbered as Victoria County Road 49.

Notes

  1. ^ The total length only counts concurrent sections of roadways once.
  2. ^ In Ontario, all roads are legally known as highways. However, road is the more prevalent term for common use. The Ontario Municipal Act defines a highway as any road, street or bridge that is not a Provincial Highway.[2]
  3. ^ There are 2.2 km (1.4 mi) of concurrent King's Highway, comprising Highway 35 and Highway 7A for 1.5 km (0.93 mi) and Highway 35 and Highway 7B for 0.7 km (0.43 mi). This means that the total of all the King's Highways is 170.2 kilometres (105.8 mi).
  4. ^ a b c d e f g h i There are 4.0 km (2.5 mi) of concurrent roadway. Routes 6 and 9 share 0.5 km (0.31 mi), 8 and 121 share 1.9 km (1.2 mi), 9 and 46 share 0.3 km (0.19 mi), 10 and 14 share 1.1 km (0.68 mi), and 45 and 121 share 0.2 km (0.12 mi). This means that the total of all the route lengths is 743.3 kilometres (461.9 mi).
