  • Kingston Road is a major arterial road in Toronto and Durham Region, Ontario. It the southernmost major (mainly) east-west road in the eastern portion of Toronto, specifically in the district of Scarborough, and runs east to Ajax in Durham. Until 1998, it formed a portion of Highway 2. The name of the street is derived from Kingston, Ontario as the road was the primary route used to travel from Toronto to the settlements east of it situated along the shores of Lake Ontario; in the west end of Kingston, the road was referred to as the York Road (referring to Toronto) until at least 1908, and is today named Princess Street. Due to its diagonal course near the shore of Lake Ontario, the street is the terminus of many arterial roads in eastern Toronto, both east–west and north-south, with a few continuing for a short distance after as minor residential streets. However Lawrence Avenue continues as a major arterial for a considerable distance beyond it. The road no longer bears the name "Kingston Road" anywhere east of Ajax, and thus has effectively been dramatically shortened from its original length. This is in contrast to other long-distance historic "streets" such as Dundas Street, which runs from Toronto to London and still carries that name in the latter city and in many points in between.

  • 京士頓道（英語：Kingston Road）是加拿大安大略省多倫多及杜咸區的主要幹道。它是多倫多東部，特別是士嘉堡最南端的主要東西向道路，向東延伸至杜咸區的亞積士。直到1998年，它才成為2號公路的一部分。街道的名稱來源於安大略省京士頓，因為這條道路是由多倫多至安大略湖沿岸以東的定居點的主要路線；在京士頓的西端，這條路至少在1908年之前被稱為約克道（York Road，多倫多舊名「約克」），今名為公主街（Princess Street）。 由於它靠近安大略湖岸邊的對角線路線，這條街是多倫多東部許多主幹道的終點，包括東西向及南北向，其中一些在作為小型住宅街道後繼續延伸一小段距離。然而，羅倫斯路（Lawrence Avenue）繼續作為一條主幹道延伸相當長的距離。 這條道路在亞積士以東任何地方的路段都不再使用「京士頓道」的名字，因此已經大大縮短了原來的長度。這與其他長距歷史「街道」形成鮮明對比，例如登打士街（Dundas Street），它由多倫多延伸至倫敦，在倫敦及多倫多與倫敦之間的許多地方仍然帶有這個名字。 (zh)
