List of numbered roads in Bruce County
Template:Short description Template:Maplink The numbered roads in Bruce County account for approximately Script error: No such module "convert". of roads in the Canadian province of Ontario.[note 1][1] These roads[note 2] include King's Highways that are signed and maintained by the province, as well as county roads under the jurisdiction of the Bruce County Transportation and Environmental Services Department. The third type of existing roadway in the county is locally maintained municipal roads, many of which are concession roads and sidelines; these are beyond the scope of this article.
The 29 numbered routes provide year-round access to the mostly rural municipality. The longest of these roads is Highway 6, which stretches Script error: No such module "convert". across the Bruce Peninsula—a long and narrow strip of land separating Lake Huron from Georgian Bay—between Hepworth and Tobermory. The shortest numbered road is Bruce RoadScript error: No such module "String".25, which travels Script error: No such module "convert". from Highway 21 to the Lake Huron shoreline.[3]
Types of roads
King's Highways
There are Script error: No such module "convert". of provincially-maintained highways, termed "provincial highways" or "King's Highways" (a term adopted in 1930).[4][5] As in the rest of Ontario, the provincially maintained highways in Bruce are designated with a shield-shaped sign topped with a crown. The highway number is in the centre, with the word ONTARIO below. These signs are known as shields, but may be referred to as reassurance markers.[4] Provincially maintained highways generally have greater construction standards than municipally or locally maintained roads.[6] Although they are usually one lane in either direction, several short sections with two lanes in one direction as a passing lane exist along the highways.[3]
County roads
There are 27 numbered county roads in Bruce County.[3] County roads are signed with a flowerpot-shaped sign, as are most regional and county roads in Ontario. The road number appears in the centre of the sign, with the word BRUCE above and the word COUNTY below. Like King's Highways, these signs are known as shields.[7] The total length of Bruce County roads is Script error: No such module "convert"., including concurrencies.

- ↑ The total length only counts concurrent sections of roadways once.
- ↑ In Ontario, all roads are legally known as highways. However, road is the more prevalent term for common use. The Ontario Municipal Act defines a highway as any road, street or bridge that is not a Provincial Highway.[2]
