Road info: Highway 24 is a long and diverse highway. The section of Highway 403 south of Paris and Highway 403 is generally in good condition; it is generally well traveled, the section wouldn't be described as overly busy. Where Highway 24 runs concurrent with Highway 403 between Paris and Brantford. Between Brantford and Cambridge, Highway 24 has a mix of four-lane and two-lane segments. The two lane segments are particularly congested, and the highway is not particularly well designed. Highway 24 passes through Downtown Cambridge and Guelph, and is generally quite busy between the two communities. North of Guelph, Highway 24 is an efficient highway, however does have a short segment where the speed limit is 40km/h where Highway 24 runs through Erin. Highway 24 is generally a four-lane highway where it runs concurrent with Highway 10. North of Shelburne, Highway 24 is in generally good condition, though is subject to winter closures due to inclimate weather.
