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.
