Newfoundland and Labrador Route 408
Highway in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Route 408, also known as Cape Ray Road, is a highway on the west coast of Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] The intersection at Route 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) is located roughly 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of Channel-Port aux Basques, a nearly 20-minute drive. Upon entering Route 408, motorists would travel only 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) before entering its only community, Cape Ray. With a total distance of 5.9 kilometres (3.7 mi) between Route 1 and its terminus, the Cape Ray Lighthouse, it may hold the distinction of being the shortest provincial route that is not a bypass nor access road. Because of its short length, plus being a rough road, the maximum speed limit is set at 50 km/h.

Near Cape Ray, was a former Canadian National Railway train station known as Red Rocks. It closed down in September 1966, supposedly following completion of the Trans-Canada Highway in Newfoundland.
