Signage for Highway 400-South advising Highway
12 South traffic to continue along Highway 12's former alignment, now Simcoe
Road 16. 6km of Highway 12 had been rerouted onto Highway 400 in 1997.
The fact that there is a 6km gap in Highway 12 highlights the lack of
co-ordination between Provincial Highways and County Roads in Ontario.
