The interpretation of the County/Regional Road shield adopted by the Ottawa-Carleton Region (the City of Ottawa has gone and merged with the entire original Carleton County, which is why I present these here). Every county or region seems to look at the trapezoid differently. Most Ottawa-Carleton RR's are unsigned in the city itself. I don't know where Doug Kerr took the first photo, but I took the second one just off of Exit 46 on Highway 417, on Boundary Road. (It is in fact the eastern boundary of the region, and also the approximate French-speaking/English-speaking boundary.)
