For most locals, it is fine. I know the 401 leads to Toronto, Kingston and points beyond.
I could see those who are uh, more geographically challenged or from out-of-province/country having a tough time. GPS has reduced this problem, I'll admit.
Poor signage mildly annoys me though - I've seen too many buildings and roads and whatnot have poor direction-finding signage.
