Airport Parkway is a two-lane expressway for most of its length, and is home to one of Ontario's only two single-point urban interchanges at its Hunt Club Road exit. The speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph) for its entire length. There has been some discussing in twinning it to a four-lane expressway or freeway, although those discussions have stalled due to local controversy.
