ON: ON-15 southern end adjustment

[rickmastfan67]

Just randomly decided to take a look at ON-15 for the first time in 14 years, and discovered it's clearly signed south of ON-401 for a short distance.

This includes full END/BEGIN shields which were installed sometime in 2016.

Thus, I'll be extending the route south to a new point called 'RR15' at the location of those shields.  This will extend the route 0.37km (0.23 miles) to the south of ON-401.

News entry will be submitted as well when this extension is submitted.

So this assembly at the interchange isn't enough to introduce some doubt?

I mean, it does slightly, but they went thru the trouble of installing END/BEGIN shields, which is normally something that's not see in Ontario.

Plus there's an obvious pavement change where those END/BEGIN shields are too.

The provincial GIS shows the route ending at the eastbound exit ramp.

Interesting, but that isn't 100% reliable.  The ON-6 change I recently made is an example.

Also, several other routes have gaps thru towns, but are fully signed.

Anyways, that GIS might give me a reason to look into ON-49 some at least.

Another good example would be ON-66.
1) GIS doesn't correctly show the 'western' end.  It still shows the old route to the old bridge for ON-66/SH-566.  Yet, it shows the correct route & wrong route for SH-566 there. lol.
2) Doesn't show the recent northern bypass of North Virginiatown.  Still shows the old route which is no-more.

So, still, at least the GIS is decent data for double checking SH/TH highways that GSV hasn't been on yet (or may never be) to at least map what is assumed to be the 'end' of the route.

The small southern extension has been submitted.
