Oakville (Ontario) by car
The Queen Elizabeth Way runs around the west end of Lake Ontario from Niagara Falls through Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga and becomes the Gardiner Expressway into downtown Toronto. Through Oakville this merges with Highway 403. Exit at Trafalgar Road for a quick route south into the downtown area. Highways 401 and 407 (a toll route) also pass further north of the town.
Driver beware: Oakville and the surrounding area is home to many daily commuters into Toronto for work, sports games etc. During rush hour, most highways in the Greater Toronto Area are stop-and-go. In Oakville, try to avoid the westbound Queen Elizabeth Way west of Ford Drive between 4 pm and 6:30 pm; many cars, the merging Highway 403 and lane reductions due to a QEW widening initiative combine to bring traffic to a standstill. Exiting at Ford Drive and going south to Lakeshore or Cornwall Drive or north to Upper Middle Road (all major, parallel routes) is often a better idea.
