| 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. Picture taken: June 10th, 2006. Size: 50kb. |

View looking west towards Stratford from the
