The IP address or range 54.159.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''King's Highway 20''', commonly referred to as '''Highway 20''', is a [[List of highways in Ontario|provincially maintained highway]] in the Canadian province of [[Ontario]]. Presently, it is a short {{convert|1.9|km|abbr=on}} stub between [[Ontario Highway 58|Highway&nbsp;58]] and [[Niagara Regional Road&nbsp;70]] in the City of [[Thorold]], but until 1997 it connected [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] to [[Niagara Falls, Ontario|Niagara Falls]], serving several towns atop the [[Niagara Escarpment]] en route.

Highway&nbsp;20 was first designated in 1930, serving as a bypass to the congested [[Ontario Highway 8|Highway&nbsp;8]]. Soon after, a new cut was made into the Niagara Escarpment south of [[Stoney Creek, Ontario|Stoney Creek]], which would serve Highway&nbsp;20 for 66 years. However, the new route failed to divert a significant amount of traffic from Highway&nbsp;8. Subsequently, the [[Queen Elizabeth Way]] (QEW) was constructed through the [[Niagara Peninsula]] between 1937 and 1940. The opening of the [[Burlington Bay James N. Allan Skyway|Burlington Bay Skyway]] in 1958 bypassed the routing of Highway&nbsp;20; it was truncated at the QEW in Stoney Creek in 1964 as a result. The routing remained unchanged between then and 1998, when all but a short stub of the highway was transferred to regional jurisdiction.

== Route description ==
While today Highway{{nbsp}}20 is a mere {{convert|1.9|km|adj=on}} stub of its former length, most of the former route retains the same layout and character as the highway did prior to 1998, serving as the main street of the villages of [[Fonthill, Ontario|Fonthill]] and [[Smithville, Ontario|Smithville]].<ref name="2010 mapart">{{cite map

=== Former route (1997) ===
Prior to being transferred almost entirely in 1997 and 1998, Highway{{nbsp}}20 provided an alternative route to Highway{{nbsp}}8 and the QEW south of the Niagara Escarpment. Beginning at an interchange with the QEW at Centennial Parkway, the highway travelled south, providing access to communities within Stoney Creek. After intersecting Highway{{nbsp}}8 (Queenston Road), it ascended the Niagara Escarpment. At [[Elfrida, Ontario|Elfrida]], Highway{{nbsp}}20 intersected [[Ontario Highway 53|Highway&nbsp;53]], which travelled west to [[Brantford]], as well as [[Ontario Highway 56|Highway&nbsp;56]], which travelled south to [[Binbrook, Ontario|Binbrook]] and [[Ontario Highway 3|Highway{{nbsp}}3]]; Highway{{nbsp}}20 turned east at this intersection.<ref name="1996 RM2">{{cite map

The route exited [[Regional Municipality of Hamilton–Wentworth|Hamilton–Wentworth]] at Westbrook Road, entering the Region of Niagara and the municipality of [[West Lincoln]] after a brief swerve southward. It passed through the communities of [[Fulton, Ontario|Fulton]], [[Kimbo, Ontario|Kimbo]] and [[Allen's Corners, Ontario|Allen's Corners]] before curving southeast into the town of [[Smithville, Ontario|Smithville]]. Southeast of the town, it curved south near St. Anns to [[Bismarck, Ontario|Bismarck]], where traffic had to turn to remain on the highway, which switched from a southward to eastward direction. At Niagara Regional Road{{nbsp}}24 (Victoria Avenue), the route entered the town of [[Pelham, Ontario|Pelham]]. It served as the primary east–west route through the community of [[Fonthill, Ontario|Fonthill]], where it curved northeast.<ref name="1996 RM2" />

After meeting Highway{{nbsp}}406 and Highway{{nbsp}}58 (then an [[at-grade intersection|at-grade]] two-lane intersection), Highway{{nbsp}}20 curved east to cross the [[Welland Canal]]. Now known as Lundy's Lane, it swerved north before meeting the present portion of the route. East of the Thorold–Niagara Falls boundary at Niagara Regional Road{{nbsp}}70, the highway zig-zagged northeast into the urban area of Niagara Falls. Provincial maintenance ended at Montrose Road prior to 1998,<ref name="1996 RM2" /><ref>{{cite map

Soon thereafter, the Department of Highways (DHO) began to excavate a new cut into the escarpment between Elfrida and Stoney Creek. While under construction in 1931, Highway{{nbsp}}20 was rerouted onto what would become known as Centennial Parkway, briefly ending at a junction between Highway{{nbsp}}8 and Highway{{nbsp}}8A (the present day intersection of Queenston Road and Centennial Parkway); the old routing from Elfrida to downtown Hamilton was renumbered as Highway{{nbsp}}20A.<ref name="1932 report map">{{cite report

The highway descended the escarpment along the now-closed Glover Mountain Road, which connected the modern Greenhill Avenue with First Road. Highway{{nbsp}}8A meanwhile, proceeded north from Stoney Creek to Burlington via Burlington Beach; it was renumbered as an extension of Highway{{nbsp}}20 when the Stoney Creek Cut was completed in 1932.

Between Welland and Niagara Falls, Highway{{nbsp}}3 originally followed the Merrittville Highway (later Highway{{nbsp}}58) and Lundy's Lane to the Honeymoon Bridge; Highway{{nbsp}}3A connected Port Colborne to Fort Erie. In 1929, the two route numbers were switched,<ref>{{cite report

Between Hamilton and Welland, several major diversions were constructed during the 1930s, including west of Elfrida (the old route followed South Townline Road and Chapel Hill Road), east of Kimbo (the old route now known as Kimbo Road) and around [[St. Anns, Ontario|St. Anns]] (having originally followed Twenty Mile Creek Road and St. Anns Road).<ref>{{cite map

Both the QEW and Highway{{nbsp}}20 crossed the entrance to Hamilton Harbour utilizing a four lane lift bridge. However, this quickly became one of the two major bottlenecks along the new superhighway. By the early-1950s, traffic lineups often stretched for several kilometres each time the bridge raised. This prompted the DHO to construct a skyway over the canal, which opened on October{{nbsp}}30, 1958, and provided four lanes of uninterrupted travel.{{sfn|Stamp|1987|p=59}}
Subsequently, the use of Highway{{nbsp}}20 (now Beach Boulevard) for long-distance travel ceased. In 1964, the portion of Highway{{nbsp}}20 between Burlington and the Stoney Creek Traffic Circle was transferred to Halton County and Wentworth County, reducing its length to {{convert|74.2|km|abbr=on}}.{{cn|date=November 2021}}

As part of a series of budget cuts initiated by premier [[Mike Harris]] under his [[Common Sense Revolution]] platform in 1995, numerous highways deemed to no longer be of significance to the provincial network were decommissioned and responsibility for the routes transferred to a lower level of government, a process referred to as [[Ontario Provincial Highway Network#Transfers|downloading]]. On January{{nbsp}}1, 1998, the province downloaded the majority of Highway{{nbsp}}20 to the Regional Municipalities of Hamilton and Niagara. However, a short section remains, connecting Highway{{nbsp}}58 to the city boundary of Thorold and Niagara Falls.<ref name="km" /><ref name="WDW">{{cite report

It is unclear why this short portion was retained in the provincial highway network.
