Highway 407 looking west from the Brant Street overpass in Burlington.
This picture showcases the eastern end of the 407. Because the western
leg of the 407 was originally intended to be part of
Highway 403, the
western end of the 407 simply defaults onto the 403,
rather then equally favouring both the 403
and the QEW.

Two views of Highway 407 from the Highway 27
overpass. The first picture showcases the eastern side of the large
407/427 interchange. The second photo
shows the braided ramps between Highway's 27 and
427. Because of the close proximity
of the Highway 27 and 427 interchanges, the
ramps needed to be separated from each other a flyover to prevent
weaving.

Signage at the ramp to Weston Road from Highway 407. Notice the
pull-through signage for Highway 400 is of
a slightly different design then the signage for Weston Road. Like
many other new signs, this sign was made by an independent contractor after
the 407 was leased to a private firm, and the sign has several slight
differences compared to typical MTO-made signage.
