Highway Map (click to enlarge) Names Start Terminus Length (km)
RR 202
RR 202 RR 202 Montgomery Dr. Old Dundas Rd., Ancaster Village Wilson St. (ON 2), Ancaster Village insignificant

Added in 1979; probably unnumbered before. At a mere 200 metres in length, this connecting stub between two parallel roads is irrefutably the shortest "highway" in Hamilton-Wentworth that ever existed.
RR 203
RR 203 RR 203 Lynden Rd.
Jerseyville Rd.
Sunnyridge Rd. 		ON 99, Lynden (continues from RR 503) Wilson St. (ON 2/53) west of Alberton 9

Previously: RR 3.
A portion follows Concession Line 3.

This highway's designation reverted to RR 3 on some late-period signage.
RR 210
RR 210 RR 210 Scenic Dr. Hamilton city limits at Mohawk Rd. Hamilton city limits near Lower Princess Falls insignificant

Previously: RR 10W, with no changes or adjustments.
RR 215
RR 215 RR 215 Mohawk Rd. Wilson St. (ON 2), Ancaster Village Hamilton city limits east of Ancaster (continues as RR 115) 4

Previously: RR 15.

Adjustments: The original road was bisected in the 1990s by the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway and its interchange with ON 403, leaving this highway discontinuous with a stub signed as Old Mohawk Road.
RR 216
RR 216 RR 216 Fiddlers Green Rd. Jerseyville Rd., Ancaster Village Carluke Rd. near Carluke 8

Previously: RR 16. The north end was apparently extended a trivial distance from RR 16's original terminus at ON 2.
RR 217
RR 217 RR 217 Jerseyville Rd. Brant County line west of Jerseyville Lynden Rd. west of Jerseyville 2

Previously: Unknown. A 1960 map implies that this road was originally a branch of CR 3, but leaves it unnumbered. It follows Concession Line 3.
RR 222
RR 222 RR 222 Trinity Rd.
Sawmill Rd.
Carluke Rd. 		Wilson St. (ON 2/53) west of Duff's Corners Glancaster Rd. west of Mount Hope 11

Previously: RR 22

The Sawmill Road portion followed the regional line.

Succeeded by: RR 52 (north of Brant CR 22), RR 65 (east portion)
RR 223
RR 223 RR 223 Jerseyville Rd. ON 52 south of Copetown Wilson St. (ON 2), Ancaster Village 5

Added in 1979; probably unnumbered before. Follows Concession Line 3.
RR 232
RR 232 RR 232 Old Dundas Rd. Dundas south town limits (continues from RR 332) Wilson St. (ON 2), Ancaster Village 3

Strangely, the Old Ancaster-Dundas Road was numbered as a Regional Road for only a very brief time. RR 232 was added to the system in 1979, and had vanished from maps by 1984!

RR 247
RR 247 RR 247 Wilson St. Hamilton Dr., Duffs Corners Hamilton city limits south of Dundas 7

Concurrent with: ON 2. "247" was an internal designation used to refer to the portion of the highway in Ancaster covered by municipal maintenance. It was never signed this way in the field.

It would have been logical for this segment to be assigned the number 202; however, this was taken by another road.
RR 248
RR 248 RR 248 McNiven Rd.
Southcote Rd. 		Mohawk Rd. east of Ancaster Village ON 53 north of Southcote 3

Added in 1979; probably unnumbered before. The northernmost 600m segment was previously part of RR 15A.
RR 253
RR 253 RR 253 Glancaster Rd. Garner Rd. (ON 53) west of Ryckman's Corners Hamilton International Airport 4
Hamilton International Airport Carluke Rd. east of Carluke 3

Previously: RR 53.

This road consisted of two segments running along the township line between Ancaster and Glanford (Glanbrook). It's probably a coincidence that it intersected a provincial highway with substantially the same number.

Adjustments: This highway was discontinuous due to being bisected in 1960 by the 12-30 runway of the Hamilton International Airport.
RR 299
RR 299 RR 299 Governors Rd. Brant County line west of Lynden Binkley Rd. west of Dundas (continues as RR 399) 15

Previously: ON 5B (1938-40), ON 99. Added in 1982.

This highway ran along the base line separating Ancaster from the townships subsumed into Flamborough.

Succeeded by: RR 99, which is still in commission today.
