Ontario King’s Highway 118 route marker sign

Description

King’s Highway 118 is a provincial highway in Ontario’s Muskoka District and Haliburton and Hastings counties. The route spans 128 km (79 mi) from Highway 11 near Bracebridge to Highway 28 near Bancroft. The road passes through the forests and rocky terrain of the Canadian Shield, making it a favorite drive for outdoor enthusiasts and seasonal visitors. Along the way, Highway 118 provides access to parks, recreational areas, and communities such as Carnarvon, serving both local traffic and tourism. Originally designated in stages during the mid-20th century, the highway has undergone several extensions and realignments over the years, evolving into an important route that links Muskoka and Haliburton while showcasing some of Ontario’s most scenic landscapes.

Celebrate the unique history of this scenic highway with our King’s Highway 118 sign. It faithfully recreates the distinctive Ontario route marker design introduced in 1933. We carefully reproduce every detail, from the unique typeface used only in Ontario, to those of the King’s crown, to the proportions and layout. Because production of this style ceased in the 1950s, these signs have become increasingly difficult and expensive to find. Instead of searching the collector’s market, bring home a beautifully crafted King’s Highway 118 sign that captures the character of the original at an accessible price.

We manufacture every King’s Highway 118 sign from heavy 14-gauge steel and flat print it with a glossy, non-reflective finish that evokes the classic porcelain road signs of the early automotive era. The durable protective coating stands up to the elements, making this sign an excellent choice for both indoor displays and outdoor installation, even through demanding Canadian winters. Pre-drilled mounting holes make installation fast and easy. Choose the size that best fits your space:

• 9 in. × 14¼ in.
• 12 in. × 19 in.
• 18 in. × 28½ in.
• 24 in. × 38 in.
