LOL, just 'cos you feel like you're turning right and going north (I'd say it's close to west-north-west) doesn't mean we should change all the numbers on the roads. I don't get what's so confusing about having two highways sharing the same roadway. The 85 and the 8 are never the same road so hopefully that helps alleviate some confusion for ya!
It seems to me most 400 series highways are controlled-access for their entire lengths... the 400 turns into the 69 when it goes down to a two lane road north of Parry Sound (that's changing soon!) I think that's why the "new highway 7" should probably have its own 4xx number instead of having it be highway 7, but they might do both too if they download the current highway 7 onto the counties. I guess it might not either, I dunno.
The Linc/Redhill would have a 4xx number if it was 100km/h but as it stands it must be kinda confusing for someone since the road just randomly changes its name at the top of the "mountain". If there was a provincial highway following that route before they built the Linc they would have used that number on the highway.
