Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	Southbound junction assembly at the eastern Highway 7 junction. The Central Ontario Route of the Trans-Canada Highway departs Highway 12 at this junction. Of course, there aren't any signs explaining this. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006
Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	View looking south along Highway 12 approaching the Highway 7 junction. This junction seems exceeding simple to me, considering its importance, and traffic level, it is surprising auxiliary passing lanes have never been constructed through the intersection. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006	Low-res High-res
Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	View looking northerly from the Highway 7 East junction. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006	Low-res High-res

Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	View looking south towards Durham Road 15. I like this photo -- Highway 12 had changed very little between its 1960s construction and July of 2006. Notice the vintage traffic signal masts for example. Photo taken: July 13th, 2006	Low-res High-res
Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	Looking south along Highway 12/48 from just south of the Durham Road 23 intersection.

Township of Brock Regional Municipality of Durham	Highway 12 looking south from just north of the eastern junction of Highway 48. Highway 12/48 was fully signed until Spring 2004, (even though the multiplex was extinguished entirely on January 1st, 1998). Highway 48 east of Highway 12 is a very relevant provincial route. It is obvious to me that no one from the MTO (particularly someone who was in charge of what highways to download) had ever spent a summer afternoon observing traffic flows along Highway 48. Picture taken: August 8th, 2004. Size: 65kb.

Township of Ramara County of Simcoe	Looking north through the Simcoe Road 44 intersection. This intersection is quite busy, as Simcoe Road 44 serves as the main route to Casino Rama.

This ramp is really only there for traffic from Simcoe Road 11 (Old Barrie Road) to access Highway 11 Northbound. Despite being numbered Simcoe Road 11, and called the Old Barrie Road, the road was never part of Highway 11 nor did it ever go directly to Barrie. Picture size: 20kb.
