Multiplexes:  2.4 km with Highway 12 on the Orillia Bypass;  4.1 km with Highway 17 on the North Bay bypass.  Before downloading there was also an 18.4 km multiplex with Highway 169.

Freeway:  Highway 11 is a RIRO type expressway from Crown Hill to Gravenhurst (with the exception of the Orillia Bypass which is to full freeway standards).  North of Highway 169 at Gravenhurst, Highway 11 is at times a full fledged freeway, and at other times a four-lane expressway with limited grade crossings at minor side roads;  this is the case to Highway 518, north of Emsdale.  Between Highway 518 and South Creek Highway 11 is just a conventional 'two-lane' highway, though the MTO is in the process of twinning this to make it of freeway/expressway grade in the very near future.  Between South Creek and Highway 17 (East JCT) Highway 11 is once again a mix of expressway and freeway standard.

AADT  (2001):  Highest: 33 000 from Highway 93 (Simcoe Road 93) to Oro-Medonte Road 4;

                        Lowest:  5 900 from Highway 520 to Ontario Street (hwy 7162) on the Burk's Falls bypass.

Road Info:  Highway 11 is in good shape for this entire section.  The RIRO section in the south can be quite congested during the summer months, especially south of Orillia.  There are some newly twinned sections north of Huntsville that are just gorgeous, a true pleasure to drive.  The remainder of Highway 11 is properly maintained.

A nice example of non-standard signage; looking from Old Barrie Road at the interchange of Highway's 11&12.  Picture taken February 4th, 2004

A very faded 11 sign on the 11/12 multiplex; this does however show a very nice Georgian Bay Route Trans-Canada Highway Sign.  Picture taken February 4th, 2004

At Highway 169 north jct (Dead Man's Corner) the RIRO section ends, divided highway with both full interchanges and median crossings starts northerly
