A note about exit numbers and road signs in Ontario. The exit numbers are the distance in kilometers measured from the start of the higway. The Hunt Club Road exit number is 72. The County Road 20 exit is number 24. You subtract those numbers to get the distance between the signs. If you want to know how far you are from your exit look for a small rectangular green sign with a number on the right hand side of the road. That sign marks the distance from the start of the highway. If the green sign you are passing reads 34.0 then you are 10 km from Exit 24.
