List of roads in Brampton
The following is a list of non-numbered and numbered (Peel Regional Roads) in Brampton, Ontario.
Most major roads in Brampton are concession roads laid out in the early 19th Century, in what was then Chinguacousy and Toronto Gore Townships. In Chinguacousy, east–west roads were historically called either concessions or sideroads, while north–south roads were called lines. North–south roads were surveyed from Hurontario Street (which includes present-day Main Street) as the meridian. Toronto Gore Township used a different naming convention, with the concession road designation being used for north–south roads as well. The grid is rectangular, with the historic north–south roads spaced at 3 km (1.9 mile) intervals, and east–west roads at 1.4 km (0.85 mile) intervals. Most of the original major north–south roads run fully through the city and continue into Mississauga and Caledon, with a few exceptions, mainly in the east end, where three either spur off (or formerly did) from Peel Road 50 (formerly Highway 50) which runs slightly offset from the grid and forms the eastern boundary of the city, or are truncated at the Claireville Conservation Area.
East–west roads (with the sole exception of Mayfield Road) are designated with "East" and "West" segments on either side of Main and Hurontario Streets. The designation of north–south roads into North and South segments by Queen Street (resulting in a localized quadrant system), is more complicated, with the unusual situation in which only the portions of those between McLaughlin Road and Highway 410 are designated as such. To complicate matters further, even for the roads which are divided, the designation only applies between Steeles Avenue and Bovaird Drive: For example, Kennedy Road South only extends to Steeles with its address numbers resetting from a southward increase beginning at Queen, to numbers descending (from about 7999) to follow the numbering sequence starting in Mississauga after the street crosses Steeles, and becomes simply Kennedy Road Likewise Kennedy Road North only runs to Bovaird, with the northward numbers jumping into the 10,000s (with the 8000 and 9000 blocks being replaced by the north–south numbering system) as the street again reverts to just being Kennedy Road This is a legacy of the city's original numbering plan prior to it being enlarged after being amalgamated with the surrounding townships in 1974.
An anomaly in the numbering system outside the north–south numbering area is Bramalea Road, which also has numbers ascending from Mississauga south of Steeles, but resetting to "1" north of it to Queen Street, where the numbers return to the standard sequence in the 9000s.
Steeles Avenue is the southernmost arterial in Brampton and runs across the entire city, and is designated as Peel Road 15. It begins in Milton in the west and continues to Vaughan and Toronto in the east, where it forms the boundary of Toronto and York Region. Historically, it was also the southern boundary of the Town of Brampton and the Townships of Chinguacousy and Toronto Gore, and the northern boundary of Toronto Township (later the Town of Mississauga between 1968 and 1974) until the municipal restructuring of 1974 brought it fully within Brampton when the new city limits were set to the south at the-then future Highway 407 corridor and the Canadian National Halton Subdivision. This resulted in the community of Churchville becoming part of Brampton. Before 1967, it was known as the Upper Base Line
Clark Boulevard is a sinuous road that runs east from Rutherford Road and continues east to Airport Road, where it ends at the entrance to Canadian National's Brampton Intermodal Terminal. As of 2021, there are plans to extend the street west to Kennedy Road by incorporating a section of Eastern Avenue.
Embleton Road is a short and still-rural two-lane road running east from Winston Churchill Boulevard as a continuation of Fifth Sideroad in Halton Hills, and ends at the Credit River at Mississauga Road in the historic community of Huttonville. It, as well as most of Queen Street and Ebenezer Road in the extreme east of the city, which continues its concession road baseline, were also part of the Fifth Sideroad.
Queen Street runs from Mississauga Road east to Peel Regional Road 50 (former Highway 50) and is Brampton's main east–west street with the city's downtown being located at its intersection with Main Street. The street was designated as Highway 7 until 1997 from Highway 410 (which Highway 7 ran concurrently with between Queen and Bovaird Drive, which it followed west of the 410) easterly. Prior to the numbering of the 410 in 1982, it carried the Highway 7 designation as far west as Main Street (where it ran concurrent with Highway 10) north to Bovaird. After the mass provincial highway downloadings of the late 1990s, the Highway 7 designation along both Queen and Bovaird was replaced with the present Peel Road 107 for continuity, with the westernmost portion of the street later being designated as Peel Road 6 west of McMurchy Avenue. This former status as Highway 7 was a factor in making the street one of Brampton's busiest roads, as its importance as an arterial relative to parallel streets diminishes west of Main Street due to it being truncated at the Credit River.
