The province also maintains freeways which are up to 400-series standards, yet are not numbered as part of the 400-series network. This is despite some of those freeways exceeding existing 400-series highways in size and traffic volume and and despite some of them being connected to the 400-series network. Nonetheless, Ontario freeways do not receive a 400-series number unless they are designed to be complete controlled-access freeways for their whole length. While at-grade intersections of Highways [[Ontario provincial highway 400|400]] and [[Ontario provincial highway 406|406]] still exist, planning/construction is underway to upgrade them to full freeway standard. The non 400-series routes listed below have significant open-access portions besides the freeway section, with the freeway segment typically being a small section not at the route's termini.
Most prominent is the [[Conestoga Parkway]] in Kitchener-Waterloo, which is numbered in 3 sections; Highway 7/8, Highway 7, and Highway 85, and the Highway 8 freeway section between [[Highway 401]] and the Conestoga. The [[E.C. Row Expressway]] in [[Windsor, Ontario]] was numbered as part of [[Ontario provincial highway 2|Highway 2]] before the freeway was downloaded to municipal authorities in 1998. Other examples of non 400-series numbered freeways in the provincial inventory are at [[
