===Roads=== There are two main arterial roads that form an 'X' through the city. The intersecting point is colloquially referred to as the ''Delta''. The intersection was once known as Hunter's Corners.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.therecord.com/living-story/4334249--tbt-flash-from-the-past-delta-intersection-in-cambridge-wasn-t-always-so-busy/|title=#TBT Flash from the Past: Delta intersection in Cambridge wasn't always so busy|last=Fear|first=Jon|date=2014-01-24|website=TheRecord.com|language=en-CA|access-date=2019-05-13}}</ref> The Delta is adjacent to a Canadian Pacific Rail spur and the Babcock & Wilcox plant, and at peak rush hour times traffic would back up for miles radiating outwards from the Delta. A number of strategies were investigated to alleviate delays caused by trains and as of December 2012 construction of a bridge over Hespeler Road commenced, and was completed 18 months later. While this eliminated delays caused by trains, the Delta remains a very busy intersection. Multiphase traffic signals with restrictions on right turns on red constrain vehicular throughput compared to typical signalized intersections. [[Highway 8 (Ontario)]] travels through the city as Shantz Hill Road, King Street in Preston, Coronation Boulevard, and Dundas Street, linking Cambridge to [[Kitchener, Ontario|Kitchener]] and [[Waterloo, Ontario|Waterloo]] in the west, and [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]] in the east. [[Highway 24 (Ontario)|Highway 24]] runs through Cambridge as Hespeler Road, Water Street, and Ainslie Street, connecting to [[Guelph]] in the northeast and [[Brantford, Ontario|Brantford]] in the south.
