This past April I drove a large portion 230 Kilometer portion of King's Highway 401 from KH 403 near Woodstock to KH 3 in Windsor.
KH 401 is largest 400 series freeway in the Province of Ontario spanning 828 Kilometers/514.5 Miles from Ojobway Parkway in Windsor east to Auto Route 20 in the Quebec Provincial line. KH 401 carries a segment of freeway in Toronto which has an average daily traffic volume of 416,500 vehicles a day which makes it the busiest road in North America. KH 401 opened in segments from 1947 through 1968 while the current number designation dates to 1952.
My approach to KH 401 west was from the south terminus of KH 403 near Woodstock of Oxford County.
Windsor is signed as being 225 KM away from Woodstock on KH 401.
