Dixie Road is a major north–south thoroughfare in the Regional Municipality of Peel in Ontario, Canada, passing through the lower-tier cities of Mississauga and Brampton, and the rural town of Caledon. It is roughly 38 km (24 mi.)[1] long and is the third concession road east of Hurontario Street, and before being named was concession-numbered as 3rd Line East.[2] It is designated and signposted as Peel Regional Road 4[3] in Peel's regional road system. Despite already being named, it has also been designated as Veterans Memorial Roadway (which extends along its continuation, Horseshoe Hill Road) since 2016.[4]
