  Ontario Highways: Highway Configuration
Most of the province's highways comprising the 11,800-kilometre system are broken into one of four main classifications and posted with the appropriate route marker.
The QEW is signed with a dark blue-on-yellow provincial highway sign with the letters "QEW." For the most part, the 400-Series Highways were not touched in the mass-downloading of highways.
While this route is not a provincially maintained highway, it is numbered in sequence with the provincial highways and is very much related to the rest of the system.

 Highway 140 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ontario Provincial Highway 140 is a provincially maintained highway in the Niagara region of the Canadian province of Ontario.
Highway 140 is 11.0 km (6.8 miles) in length.
The highway was opened in 1972 as a part of the flurry of highway and railway rearrangements in the area due to construction of the Welland By-Pass on the Welland Canal.

 Ontario Provincial Highways (400-427 + QEW)
The QEW was designed partially as a four-lane divided highway with a three to ten foot median strip, with the remaining less-travelled stretches as undivided highway.
In this era of highway downloading which has seen all of the Gardiner Expwy (Former Hwy 2) and a part of the QEW given over to the City of Toronto, it seems that the Don Valley will remain in city hands and Hwy 404 will most definitely not be extended southward.
The portion of the highway south of Airport Rd is maintained by the Airport Authority and not the MTO.

 Banning Cosmetic Pesticide Use in the Urban Environment   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
A consideration of why a ban is necessary and the possibility of enacting a municipal by-law in Ontario banning the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes in the urban environment.
It could be argued that the provincial Pesticides Act occupies the realm of pesticide use in Ontario and thus any municipal by-law dealing with pesticide use would be an attempt to usurp the authority of the province.
However, on appeal, the majority of the court disagreed finding that the provincial law and the by-law were at cross-purposes because the provincial law negated the operating effect of the by-law.

M-64 is one of two Michigan state highways having no state-maintained counterparts on the Wisconsin side of the state line (the other is M-95 at Kingsford).
