Talk:Ontario Highway 71

US 71?
There's been some dispute in the past as to whether the route of Highway 71 has been truncated at Chapple, or still continues eastward as a multiplex with Highway 11 to meet US-71 at the Fort Frances-International Falls Bridge. Sources seem to be conflicting on this — there's no question that it used to continue to the bridge, but there's some confusion as to whether it still does or not. Can anybody clarify or confirm? Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 03:17, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * MapArt says it does in thew 2007 edition of Thunder Bay/Kenora/Dryden/Fort Frances, and they did some big updates to Thunder Bay on that map so I assume they'd have double checked that? Could be wrong though, they have a tendency to fuck up. That probably wasn't helpful at all but I tried. :( vıdıoman  (talk • contribs) 16:19, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It does still according to the MTO route logs. The short block of Central from Highway 11 to Church in Fort Frances is part of Highway 71. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  05:08, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

speed limit(s) & topology
Practically speaking, it would be very helpful to know what the speed limit is, whether it is single or double lane and what the topology of the highway is like (rolling hills? steep climbs? etc.) and other relevant info for people considering taking this route. 192.30.233.131 (talk) 20:42, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Great River Road
Why no mention of this being a former extension of the Great River Road? --NE2 07:04, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe I didn't include it because I had trouble finding sources other than the plaque located on the highway . Do you have any sources that would be better? Also, as far as the unsourced and challenged entry at List of Ontario Tourist Routes claims, it kinda looped around in Ontario... however that plaque seems to contradict that idea and claims it ended in Minaki, Ontario. Tl;dr: confusion. -  Floydian  τ ¢  15:54, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Name
It'd be nice if the article actually explained what the "King's Highway" name meant. (Or at least gave a link that wasn't way at the bottom in the navbox.) --Paul_012 (talk) 08:00, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It's just the official name of Ontario's main highway system — the distinction in Ontario is between "King's" and "secondary" highways (which are basically just county roads in the parts of the province where there isn't a county system to maintain county roads), not between "King's" and "non-King's" highways per se. So there's no standalone "King's Highway" article to link to separately from the basic overview article about Ontario's highway system that this article already links to as it is.

 * It's kind of a reverse WP:EGG situation, though, since the reader wondering what a King's highway is won't know that the answer is in that article. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:08, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It would be rather repetitive to have to explain the history of the network naming in every highway article. -  Floydian  τ ¢  03:36, 4 September 2017 (UTC)
