King's Highway 35, also known as Highway 35, is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of Ontario, linking Highway 401 with Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, and Algonquin Park. The highway travels from west of Newcastle, through Lindsay and the Kawarthas and into Haliburton before terminating at Highway 60 to the west of Algonquin Park, the province's largest. The winding course of the highway, combined with the picturesque views offered along its length, have led some to declare it the most scenic highway in Ontario. Most of the highway, including a portion of today's Highway 60, was assumed by the Department of Highways by 1940. In 1961, Highway 115 was signed concurrently with Highway 35 for . This was widened to a divided expressway in the late eighties. In the mid-1950s, several bypasses were constructed to divert Highway 35 away from town centres such as Lindsay, Fenelon Falls and Minden. Highway 35 is patrolled along its entirety by the Ontario Provincial Police. The speed limit for most of the length of the highway is , slowing to within built-up areas, and increasing to when it connects with Highway 115. == Route description == Highway 35 begins at a trumpet interchange with Highway 401, and is concurrent with Highway 115 for to Enterprise Hill. For the length of this concurrency, it is a divided four lane expressway with no left turns, known as right-in/right-out (RIRO). At Enterprise Hill, Highway 35 exits the divided highway (which continues as Highway 115 east to Peterborough) and proceeds north as a two lane road. The highway crosses the Oak Ridges Moraine as it passes into the City of Kawartha Lakes. The terrain flattens approaching Lindsay, which the highway bypasses.〔 Between Lindsay and Coboconk, the route is generally straight and crosses through a mix of agricultural lands and forest. After passing through Coboconk, it descends from the flat limestone plateau into the rocky Canadian Shield south of Norland.〔 The highway hugs the Gull River north of Norland and cuts through granite along its route into the Haliburton Highlands.〔 After passing Minden, the scenic highway begins diving into valleys and along cliffs overlooking several lakes.〔 Highway 35 generally follows the former ''Bobcaygeon Colonization Road'' north of Minden, though several realignments over the years have led to its current winding route. At Carnarvon, it meets with Highway 118. Heading northward into increasingly mountainous terrain, the highway crosses into Muskoka near Dorset, and shortly thereafter reaches its terminus at Highway 60 west of Algonquin Park.〔 Traffic volumes on Highway 35 vary considerably over the length of the highway, as well as over the course of the year due to its use for recreational purposes, including snowmobiling, cottaging and camping. Along the Highway 35 and Highway 115 concurrency, the average daily vehicle count is above 20,000. This drops as Highway 35 splits off at Enterprise Hill to under 10,000. This volume is fairly consistent as far north as Minden, at which point the vehicle count drops below 5,000 and tapers off as low as 2,000 at Highway 60.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontario Highway 35」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
