Highway Of Heroes from WikiPedia:

The King's Highway 401 (also known as the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway) is a highway that extends across Southern Ontario, Canada. It is the longest 400-Series Highway in Ontario, and one of the widest and busiest highways in the world. In fact, the segment of Highway 401 passing through Toronto has the distinction of being North America's busiest freeway. Together with Quebec Autoroute 20, it is the road transportation backbone of the Quebec City-Windsor Corridor, along which over half of Canada's population resides. Colloquially, the road is known simply as the 401, spoken as "four-oh-one."

In 1965, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario William Earl Rowe issued an Order-in-Council, on the advice of then-Premier John Robarts, designating Highway 401 the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, to honour both Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier, two of the Province of Canada's Fathers of Confederation, and in recognition of Canada's upcoming centennial celebrations in 1967. This name is found on maps and official documents, but seldom used in conversation or on modern road signs.
