Road info: Highway 101 is a very long and diverse road that stretches across Northeastern Ontario. Between Wawa and Timmins the highway is very remote and winds through the often rugged Northern Ontario landscape. Between Timmins and Highway 11, the highway is quite busy, is straight, and follows terrain that is reminiscent of some regions of Southern Ontario. East of Matheson, the highway again winds its way through rugged and remote terrain. Much of Highway 101 has a rural speed limit of 80km/h with the exceptions of between Wawa and Highway 547, and between Timmins and Highway 11 where a 90km/h has been posted.
