This photo is looking west down
the hill towards Elginfield. The first intersection in the foreground
of the image is that of Highway 23.
Highway 23 comes to an end where it meets
Highway 7. It continues only north of this intersection, leading
towards Listowel and Harriston. In the distance the junction with
Highway 4 can
be seen.

| City of Stratford |
This photo shows the junction of Highways 7 and
8 in Stratford. Stratford has very few reassurance markers and has
removed all references to Highway 19. Before 1998 the furthest right
sign on the gantry would have included a Highway 19 crown; 19 north is
routed east along Ontario Street (concurrent with Highways 7 and 8) before heading north along
Waterloo Street to Tralae.

View looking east from just east of Stratford's
east limits. Highway 7/8 has a 4-lane
cross section for a distance of roughly 2km east of Stratford. This
type of 4-lane cross-section is very unusual on an assumed section of
provincial highway; typically the MTO prefers to separate opposing
traffic with a flush median or a 2-way centre turn lane.
