Advanced signage for Airport Road along Upper James Street. Airport
Road lost its road number as part of Hamilton's new 'Regional' Road numbers.
Hamilton has been slow to remove the old flowerpot signs, and likewise the
MTO has yet to cover over the former numbers on its green signs.

compared to most rural 4-lane highways, and is built to a slightly tighter
geometry then most other 4-lane highways.
