Shows directions to nearby towns and cities.

Shows the distances in kilometres to towns and cities on the road.

Advance signs use arrows to show which lanes lead off the freeway. Signs are also posted at the exit.

Sometimes one or more lanes may lead off the freeway. The arrows matching the exit lanes are shown on the advance sign in a yellow box with the word ‘exit’ under them.

Various exit signs are used on freeways. In urban areas, many exit ramps have more than one lane. Overhead and ground-mounted signs help drivers choose the correct lane to exit or stay on the freeway.

Emergency response signing

Some information signs include a numbering system along the bottom of the sign to assist emergency vehicles in determining an appropriate route.

The term 'VIA' is used to describe the roads that must be followed to reach a destination.

Freeway interchanges or exits have numbers that correspond to the distance from the beginning of the freeway. For example, interchange number 203 on Highway 401 is 203 kilometres from Windsor, where the freeway begins. Distances can be calculated by subtracting one interchange number from another.

These signs change according to traffic conditions to give drivers current information on delays and lane closures ahead.
