Princess Street (Kingston)

Princess Street (Kingston)

. In the outlying western sections of the city, the road was known primarily as "Highway 2", with the Princess Street name gradually adopted as the urban area expanded west. Princess Street is the main retail street of downtown Kingston.

From 1942-74, Princess Street intersected with Bath Road and Concession Street at a traffic circle, which was ultimately removed and replaced with traffic signals as volumes increased and the circle's capacity was exceeded. The general area is still sometimes referred to as the "traffic circle" by long-time residents.

Princess Street operates one-way eastbound from Divsion Street to Ontario Street.
