Highway 12 looking south from just north of Robmar Street in the town of
Whitby. This stretch of Highway 12 is
one of the last rural sections left between the community of Whitby and the
village of Brooklin. At one time there was an old DHO bridge in the
valley shown in this picture. The bridge was replaced by a huge
culvert in the early 1990s. The new culvert is so streamlined, that
the average driver probably wouldn't realize they actually pass
over the Lynde Creek

This is the southern ends assembly for Highway 12. It is located
approximately a kilometre and a half south of Brooklin. The southern
terminus of Highway 12 marks proposed routing of
Highway 407. The
Region of Durham, already having a Durham Road 12, designated its received
portion of Highway 12 as Durham Highway 12 to avoid any renumbering.

continuing concurrent with Highway 12 northbound. Click

Looking north towards the Thickson Road
intersection. This is one of the busiest intersections along Highway
12 in Durham Region, and unsurprisingly the MTO is planning on adding
traffic signals at this location in the next few years.

The Medium Green Sign for
Highway 7A.
Highway 7 takes a very circuitous route around Lake Scugog.
Highway 7A
cuts across Lake Scugog by means of two causeways and is a much more
direct route to Peterborough then its 'parent' route.

This picture shows Highway
7/12 looking south
from Greenbank. This section of Highway
7/12 was resurfaced about 4
years ago, and is in immaculate condition. At the top of
the hill in the distance is the intersection with
Highway 47.
Highway 47 heads west towards Uxbridge
and Stouffville.

Highway 7/12 looking north from the northern
approach to Greenbank, as I mentioned in the previous picture description,
this stretch of highway is simply immaculate. Highway 7/12 travels
through a small moraine from Highway 47 in
the south, to Sunderland in the north. As such, this type of rolling terrain is fairly typical for the area.

The junction assembly for the northern split of
Highways 7 and 12. This photo is noteworthy, as it denotes the only
example (I have seen at least) where Trans-Canada Highway shields
are shown at a junction. Typically motorists are not given any
Trans-Canada Signage at junctions, and as such can not follow when a TCH
route turns or switches highways.
