The Highway 23 Ends junction assembly is located
at the far side of the intersection of Highways 7 and 23. Highway 7
continues west of Highway 23 as well, but WB Highway 7 traffic has already
departed SB Highway 23 via a ramp. I think the MTO would be wise to
erect an advanced sign denoting the end of Highway 23 that would be visible
by all traffic using Highway 23. |

The Southern Terminus of Highway 23 at Highway 7. The ramp to the
right leads traffic westbound on Highway 7 towards the Highway 4 junction in
Elginfield. Most SB traffic on Highway 23 seems to be heading towards
London via Highway 4. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004 |

Highway 23 looking north from its southern

Southwestern Ontario. Picture taken: July 31st, 2004 |

This signs were just days old when this picture
was taken, and who among us can resist the allure of brand new signage?
The junction assembly is of the newest style where the assembly is simply
stamped onto one unified piece of wood. |

Highway 23 looking north from the small
community of Woodham. Much of Highway 23 is built to this 1980s
standard. The highway has a nice feel for most of its length.

Highway 23 looking south from the west junction
of Highway 8 in Mitchell. This section of Highway 8 is a connecting
link that is maintained by the community of Mitchell. It does look
like Mitchell was handed this section of Highway 23 fairly recently though.

Junction assembly for the western Highway 86
junction. Before 1998, what is signed as Perth County Road 86 was part
of the King's Highway network as Highway 86. In the webmaster's
opinion it seems rather obscene that Listowel would not be connected to
Waterloo via a consistently numbered provincial highway.

Green sign denoting the left-hand turn that is
required to follow Highway 23 at the Perth Road 93/Wellington Road 123
intersection. Before 1998, Highway 23 continued straight through this
intersection meeting Highway 9 at Teviotdale
instead of at Harriston. At that time,
Highway
89 started at this
junction, leading travelers along what is now Highway 23 to Harriston.
