View looking westerly along
the Gardiner Expressway from near Rees Street. While the Gardiner is
often cited as being a blight on the urban landscape, it provides some
pretty spectacular views of the city.

| Town of Ajax Regional
Municipality of Durham |
View looking easterly along Highway 2 from the
Wicks Drive intersection. Since this photo was taken in 2004, several
traffic lights have been added by the Region of Durham (who has jurisdiction
over Highway 2, since this section was downloaded in 1997) as the urban
limits of Ajax extend ever further easterly.

| Municipality of Clarington
Regional Municipality of Durham |
Signage denoting the ramp to Highway
35/115
southbound. Because Highway 35/115
ends just a short distance south of Highway 2 at
Highway 401, signage only indicates
Highway 401 instead of Highway
35/115.
Surprisingly, all signage for Highway 401
at this interchange uses only Toronto as a control city, despite the fact
that traffic can access both east and westbound directions.

View looking westerly along Highway 2 towards
the Highway 35/115
underpass. This underpass was constructed in the mid 1950s, and
originally served Highway 401.
Highway 401 ended at this interchange for a
brief period of time between 1952 and 1960 before it was extended easterly
to Port Hope.

View looking west towards the Highway
35/115 interchange. Before Highway 35/115
was upgraded to a RIRO expressway in the late 1980s, Highway 2 met Highway
35/115 at a
Parclo A2 interchange. However, to accommodate 4-through lanes through
the existing structure, the interchange was converted to a diamond.

Looking westerly along Highway 2 from just east

This type of treatment is very common to early divided highways designed in

| Tyendinaga IR 38 County of

Signage just south of Marysville indicating both
Highway's 2 and 49. Highway 2 and
49 were co-designated for 4.2km
before Highway 2 was decommissioned in 1997. Though signage still
indicates Highway 2 following Highway 49 for much of this former multiplex,
technically (and legally) the Highway 2 designation has been removed from this section of
Highway 49.

Westbound Highway 33 is signed along Sir

avoid some closely spaced traffic signals that would be encountered
following the 'true' route.
