Ontario Highway 407, also known as 407 ETR (Express Toll Route), is a privately owned toll highway north of Toronto in Ontario. It uses cameras to track licence plates instead of having toll booths. To reduce the price of using the highway riders can get transponders. The highway lets drivers bypass traffic on the Ontario Highway 401.
