Hamilton Roads
- Expressways - Using the Red Hill Valley and Lincoln Alexander (the Linc) Expressways are the best way to get through the city, especially if you're heading east or west.
- One Way Streets - Hamilton is famous for its myriad of one way streets in the downtown core. For those not familiar with driving downtown, you might want to use GPS to help you navigate the one-way streets.
- Hamilton Mountain Access - There are many accesses up and down the Hamilton escarpment, often referred to as "The Mountain". These steep inclines can often ice up or collect water from the banks of the escarpment. Use extra caution while driving down these in poor weather conditions.
- The Green Wave - If you're ever coming into town from the 403 onto Main St. you'll notice a long line of stoplights. If you time it just right, you can ride a wave of ever turning green lights from Durndurn straight through to Wentworth St. or beyond.
