Autoroute 540 (Vaudreuil-Dorion) is a short spur route that connects Autoroute 20 to Autoroute 40, providing a direct freeway link from Windsor, Ontario (via Highway 401) to Quebec City, Riviere-du-Loup, and points east through A-40, as A-20 currently has several at-grade intersections in Vaudreuil-Dorion as a multi-lane divided road. A-540 is currently the shortest numbered Autoroute.

The road also acts as a part of a ring road around the western edge of the Montreal metropolitan area. It is speculated that A-540 may be re-designated as an extension of Autoroute 30, while the old alignment of A-30 is renamed Autoroute 530, becoming more or less, a full southern ring road of Montreal with A-30.

There is also an A-540 in the Quebec City region which links Autoroute 40 with Autoroute 73.
