Don't let the freeway style of this road fool you... the speed limit is 60 km/h, as I discovered when I got a ticket. -- 70.82.50.67 17:16, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
The changes in the Highway 401 signage for this are odd - the signs originally indicated "Interstate 81, Hill Island, Bridge to USA" - these signs were replaced with "Interstate 81, Hill Island USA" then a few months later were taken down and replaced with "Highway 137, Hill Island, Ontario" and a second set of signs 1km back saying "Interstate 81 USA follow 137". An extra (smaller) "I-81" directional marker was added on the offramp. It looks like someone made one big mistake and had to make some corrections; it's not the place of individual provinces to cede British Commonwealth territory (even if it's only Hill Island) to the USA or any other foreign power.
Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the "Hill Island USA" version - which had to be an error. -- carlb 02:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Apparently, some time last year they replaced the signs to Hwy 137 *again*. Now, at least one big green overhead sign in each direction on Hwy 401 approaching Exit 661 says:
"137 Hill Island, Ontario / I-81 Bridge to USA"
(The shields are included for both Ontario Hwy 137 and I-81.) I saw the new signs on my way from Toronto to Ottawa on Friday, July 31, 2009. Seems like they've finally got it right. Set theorist ( talk) 08:16, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
