Check a map... a highway may not be limited access, and in fact may be the only way to some locations.

These definitions and rules tend to vary from country to country and location to location.

I understand in Maryland for instance cyclists are not permitted on certain highways, where as in other places highways are perfectly legal to use, but freeways or interstates may be off limits (with exceptions) to cyclists.

And of course the real catch is that "highway" is often defined in law as any road.

Do you have "farm highways" or "rural highways" in Ontario? Looking at the map, I suspect roads such as 404 and 407 are off limits to cyclists, but I suspect that the use of 7, 48, and 12 may be OK.
