Most (but not all) of Yonge Street was Highway 11 but only a small portion of Highway 11 was Yonge Street. That Spacing article is interesting. Basically Yonge Street was built to the Holland River and Highway 11 came over a century later, using most of Yonge for part of its route.Highway 11 was Yonge Street until the downloading from the province in the late 90s. That's why if you get off at Yonge St from the 407, you'll still see the Highway 11 Yonge Street instead of Highway 1 numerical designation. So the two are the same in some respects, but even shorter than it was before. Still, your right, it not the longest road, that title has gone to the Pan-American Highway.
