First cosign assembly eastbound on Highway 17/64 just east of Verner.  Oddly all assemblies on this co-designation are signed with the Highway 64 shield before the Highway 17 shield.  This is inconsistent with normal signage practices in Ontario.

Highway 17 looking east from just west of the western Highway 17B junction in North Bay.  When first constructed in the 1930s, Highway 17 would have curved right and followed what is now Highway 17B into North Bay.  The North Bay Bypass was built in the 1950s as a two lane route bypassing congested downtown North Bay.  The North Bay Bypass is currently a 4-lane undivided, at-grade urban expressway.

City of North Bay View looking easterly along the North Bay By-pass roughly halfway between Lakeshore Road and Gormanville Road.  Notice the roughed in intersection at the future site of the North Bay Hospital.  It is from this intersection southeasterly that the North By-pass has a 4.5 lane cross-section.

City of North Bay Advanced signage for the Highway 63 junction.  Though Highway 63 is indicated leading both directions from the North Bay By-pass, this is technically incorrect, as Highway 63 was downloaded south of the North Bay By-pass in 1998.
