Plain-language summary · AI-assisted
The restricted zone on Highway 401 where commercial motor vehicles are prohibited from using left lanes in the Windsor-to-Chatham-Kent corridor has been redrawn. The previous single segment covering both directions between Essex County Road 42 and Ojibway Parkway has been replaced with two direction-specific segments: one covering eastbound lanes between Ojibway Parkway in Windsor and Chatham-Kent Road 2 (Queen's Line), and a new westbound segment between Chatham-Kent Road 7 (Merlin Road) and Cousineau Road in LaSalle. Commercial vehicle operators travelling Highway 401 in this corridor should review the updated boundary points to ensure compliance with lane restrictions.
