Tecumseh Road is one of Windsor, Ontario's primary arterial roads, and is the second-most travelled east-west road (only after E.C. Row Expressway). The road begins on the far west side at the intersection of Prince Road and Matchette Road, and heads east, dividing the city roughly in half. It continues through Tecumseh, Ontario and Lakeshore, Ontario as Essex County Road 2.

It meets up with Essex County Road 22 (formerly Highway 39), and continues into Belle River, where it becomes Notre Dame Street. Tecumseh Road reappears at the intersection of Church and Broadway in Belle River, one block north of Notre Dame Street and continues as Essex County Road 2.

This portion travels close to Lake St. Clair and continues into Chatham-Kent, Ontario. In Chatham-Kent the road is named Tecumseh Line and carries the designation Chatham-Kent 36. At the intersection of Merlin Road, the name changes to River View Line.

County Road 2 is the designation given to Tecumseh Road outside of Windsor, Ontario. It skirts along the shore of Lake St. Clair in the northern edge of Essex County, Ontario, from Tecumseh, Ontario to its terminus near Lighthouse Cove and Tilbury. Though Tecumseh Road shares roughly 9/10s of this road's path, the two are not exactly synonymous, as County Roads are no longer signed in Windsor, and Tecumseh Road diverts from the county road in Belle River, Ontario.

Part of the route was the original alignment of Highway 39, until it was absorbed by Highway 2 in 1970.
