The Hanlon Parkway is a high-capacity at-grade suburban Expressway in the city of Guelph , Ontario , Canada , which connects it with Highway 401 . Also known as "The Parkinglot" because of its poor design and traffic flow. It runs in a general north-south direction in the city's west end. It is signed as Highway 6 for its whole length; from Wellington Street to Woodlawn Road, it is multiplexed with Highway 7 . It is 17 Km (10.5 miles) long. The speed limit alternates between 70 and 80 km/h (45 and 50 mph), although the flow is generally faster especially in the more rural sections. Though the road was originally designed as a Freeway , budget limitations precluded the construction of Overpass es; apart from the interchanges with the 401 and with Wellington Street West (Highways 7 and 24 ), all junctions are Signalized At-grade Intersection s. There are also two Railway Crossings near the northern terminus, though both are for Spur lines. The Hanlon is graded and landscaped similarly to a freeway, with broad flat shoulders and an open median. The Government Of Ontario has plans to build a new Highway 7 freeway bypass joining the current northern terminus of the Hanlon Parkway to the Conestoga Parkway in Kitchener ; if the project goes ahead, it is likely that the Hanlon will be upgraded to a freeway for its full length.
