Ontario's Highways

View looking towards Toronto overtop of the recently twinned QEW bridges that carry the highway overtop of the Credit River. Both directions of traffic have been shifted onto the new span to allow the old bridge to be fully rehabilitated:

I would say that in Ontario white is the norm for county/regional routes.
The only jurisdictions that do not conform to that standard (that I know of) are: Niagara Region (blue), Hamilton (blue), Peel Region (black and yellow), and Halton Region (green and yellow).
As to why that particular Niagara Region shield is white, I don't know. Perhaps it's the older standard? No idea.

You'd THINK that Hamilton would use black & yellow as an homage to their CFL team's colours (Go Ti-Cats!). I know they're having a rough season, but still.

Chris:
What is the typical light pole height on these wide sections of freeway around Toronto? 40 or 50 meters? Or even more?
