Kemptville isn't a municipality; why do you people constantly try to list it? --216.106.103.3 13:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * it is a postal address, - a lot of folks idetify with living in "keptville" and their is the Keptville agricultural school... What do you want to call it? redirect to that.cmacd 22:37, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * First of all, you spelt it wrong, it's Kemptville and second of all, it only has about 3,000 people or so (Embrun has three times as many people as Kemptville, and Smiths Falls has about double), and third of all (perhaps most important) this list is for municipalities, not communities. The reason why we list municipalities is because the definition of community is not defined enough. --216.106.103.139 22:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

STOP BEING ANAL 216.106.103.3 !! Bacl-presby 00:18, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The exit signs on 416 are posted with the FORMER Municipalities; have a problem with Kemptville?, Merrickville?, Spencerville?, Manotick?, North Gower? Go vanadalize other sites, but leave the 416 alone!Bacl-presby 15:52, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Where they make township, and township is usually a rurale area with some village or villages inside that are too small to be a municipalité on their own, the sign panel would never list the township name, it would always list the village. If a township ask to be listed on the panel, they say «non». It was always that way on all the autoroute long before any municipalities were changed for amalgamation.

Veterans Commemorative Park
As this road nominally is a war memorial, there is a tiny commemorative park near the halfway point (northbound) directly north of the Kemptville commuter parking lot. Its location is not obvious from the main road as it's lower in elevation than either the 416 or the cross-street. The parking lot is southeast of the main crossroads with little more than a phone booth; walk north out of the car park toward the overpass to get to the memorial park. It contains two benches and a monument. (Any token description was removed from this article on 21:21, 31 August 2006.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.102.83.61 (talk)

Thank you for the info and source. I'm about to rewrite this article completely, and I'll be sure to include this! -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  00:09, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Freeway ends near the shore of Britannia Bay
Currently the article says: "The freeway ends at a large interchange with the Trans-Canada Highway, Highway 417 (Exit 131), near the shore of Britannia Bay on the Ottawa River; downtown Ottawa is to the east and Kanata is to the west." Britannia Bay is actually about two/three kilometers to the east of the interchange. A more accurate description would be Andrew Hayden park, Bayshore or Crystal Beach. The bay is the same, but nobody calls the area near Andrew Hayden park Britannia. That refers to the beach.

Anybody got an opinion on this? -- Kndimov (talk) 01:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm in Toronto, so I wrote this using google maps and a street atlas. If you've got local knowledge then by all means make the fixes. Ontario Highway 417 may also have similar types of inaccuracies. Cheers,  Floydian  τ ¢  02:20, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Link to Highway 420 - explanation added
I added "Niagara Veterans Memorial Highway" before the link to Highway 420 to make it clear why there is a link to this highway. I think it's important because the number has a secondary meaning: 420 (cannabis culture). So, it may appear to some readers that the link to Highway 420 was added as vandalism. By adding the fact that it is also named as a Veterans Memorial Highway, it is immediately clear why the link is there and it is not necessary to go to the Highway 420 article to find this out.

Incidentally, I'm from the Niagara area and I didn't know the highway was called that. I do recall seeing it on the signs, but it's not signed very well. I was aware that Highway 416 was named that, as it is very clearly marked with signs including a poppy symbol. Roches (talk) 10:13, 23 March 2014 (UTC)


 * As far as I know, Niagara even went as far as to remove all the 420 signs from its portion (east of Stanley) of the road in an effort to reduce that association. The province didn't care and still signs their section. Thanks for the fix though, you're probably right about those connotations. -  Floydian  τ ¢  17:18, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
