We travel north along King's Highway 400, between Highway 401 in Toronto, and the Highway 11/400 interchange just north of Barrie. The busy intercity route was one of the first freeway routes to open in Ontario, and was designated as Highway 400 in 1951.
From Wikipedia:
King's Highway 400, commonly referred to as Highway 400, historically as the Toronto-Barrie Highway, and colloquially as the 400, is a 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario linking the city of Toronto in the urban and agricultural south of the province with the scenic and sparsely populated central and northern regions. The portion of the highway between Toronto and Lake Simcoe roughly traces the route of the Toronto Carrying-Place Trail, a historic trail between the Lower and Upper Great Lakes. The highway is patrolled by the Ontario Provincial Police and has a speed limit of 100 km/h (62 mph), except for the section south of Highway 401, where the speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph).
It was the first fully controlled-access highway in Ontario when it was opened between North York and Barrie on July 1, 1952. On that date, it was also the first highway to be designated as a 400-series. The freeway was extended in both directions; north of Barrie to Coldwater in 1958, and south of Highway 401 to Jane Street in 1966; a short distance east of Jane Street the route continues as the municipal expressway Black Creek Drive which opened in 1982. Since the 1970s to the present there have been numerous projects which have widened and modernized the freeway between North York and Barrie, including being expanded with a collector-express system in Vaughan to accommodate the interchange with the new Highway 407 ETR.
