Some freeways do not have exit numbers at all (Highway 409, Highway 427 although it's getting them very soon), and a lot of them did not have any until very recently like the Gardiner and DVP. This is why we refer to exits by their names.</div><div><br></div><div class="ydp531cc38asignature"><div style="font-family:new times, serif;font-size:16px;"><div>--</div><div>
