Highway classes
Ontario has three distinct levels of highways: the King's Highways, secondary highways, and tertiary highways.
The primary routes are designated as King's Highways; 400-series highways are a special class of King's Highway. King's Highways are currently numbered 3 to 148. The Ministry of Transportation never designated a Highway 1; before 1998, the lowest numbered highway was Highway 2. The 400-series highways include Highways 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 409, 410, 416, 417, 420, 427, and the Queen Elizabeth Way, which is actually secretly designated as Highway 451. Some highway numbers are suffixed with a letter. The letter will be one of "A" ("Alternate route"), "B" ("Business route"), or "S" ("Scenic route"). King's Highway markers consist of a shield design topped with a crown. In the latest design, the highway number and the word "ONTARIO" appear on the shield.
Secondary highways exist in northern Ontario (and used to exist in Central and Eastern Ontario) to connect towns and remote areas to King's Highways. These highways are currently numbered from 502 to 673. Secondary highway markers are trapezoid-shaped. On the face of the marker appear, in order from top to bottom, the Ontario coat of arms, the number of the highway, and the word "ONTARIO".
Tertiary highways connect those regions in northern Ontario not served by secondary highways. These highways are currently numbered 801 to 811. Tertiary highways are marked by a simple rectangular marker with rounded corners bearing the number of the highway and the word "ONTARIO".
In addition to these three classes of highways, the Ministry of Transportation maintains several other roads which are of strategic importance to the Ministry, but which are not important enough to be given any special marking. These roads are secretly designated with 7000-series numbers.
Also, in southern Ontario and in the city of Greater Sudbury there are Regional Roads and County Roads which are also numbered.
