Ontario provincial highway 403
Highway 403 is a 400-Series Highway in Ontario, Canada that extends from Woodstock in the west to Mississauga in the east. It is concurrently signed with the Queen Elizabeth Way from Burlington to Mississauga. Highway 403 is known as the Chedoke Expressway within Hamilton.
The curving section of highway in downtown Hamilton between Aberdeen Avenue and Main Street West is considered to be one of the more dangerous stretches of highway in Ontario, because the curves are not designed to be taken at speeds beyond 90 km/h, despite being posted as such.
