Trivia

  • There are only two sign markers meant to be viewed while travelling the actual Highway 211 road - one meant for eastbound travellers just east of the intersection with Highway 11, and one meant for westbound travellers just west of the Blackstrap access road. Neither marker indicates the direction (eastbound and westbound, respectively) the travellers would be going.
  • As of June 30, 2007, the sign marker for Highway 211 directly at the end of the Blackstrap access road is missing.
