===Canada=== {{main|Numbered highways in Canada}} The [[Trans-Canada Highway]] system is made up of a series of provincially maintained highways, and is one of only two systems (the other being the [[Crowsnest Highway]]) that uses route numbering that spans multiple provinces, albeit not across the entire country. The provincial highways are assigned numbers by their respective provinces. ====Alberta==== {{main|List of Alberta provincial highways}} All provincial highways are 'Primary Highways'. They are divided into two series', and sub-series'. *1-216 Series — core highway network **Hwy 1-100 — intercity **Hwy 201, 216 — orbital routes *500-986 Series — local highways **Hwy 500-699 — west–east routes **Hwy 700-899 — south–north routes **900 and X series — potential realignments and extensions ====British Columbia==== {{main|List of British Columbia provincial highways}} Owing to the mountainous terrain in the province, route numbers are assigned on a mostly [[ad hoc]] basis, and vary between west–east and south–north routes. They currently span from 1-118, except for Hwy 395 which is a counterpart of US 395. Some routes are grouped in numerical patterns (e.g. Highways 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19 are north–south routes with values increasing by increments of two moving West). British Columbia formerly had "400 series" of highways similar to Ontario, but that scheme was dropped in 1973. ====Manitoba==== {{main|List of Manitoba provincial highways}} Provincial Trunk Highways (PTH) are divided into two series'. *PTH 1-199 — primary highways **PTH 1-89 — intercity **PTH 100, 101, 110 — loop routes *PR 200-699 — secondary highways ====New Brunswick==== {{main|List of New Brunswick provincial highways}} Provincial highways are divided into three series'. *Route 1-99 — arterial highways *Route 100-199 — collector highways *Route 200-999 — local highways ====Newfoundland and Labrador==== {{main|List of Newfoundland and Labrador highways}} Provincial highways are divided into three series'. *Main highways have varying numbers *Regional roads are numbered by region **Route 2-203 — Avalon Peninsula **Route 204-205, 230-239 — Bonavista Peninsula **Route 210-222 — Burin Peninsula **Route 301-346 — Kittiwake Coast, Fogo Island, & Twillingate **Route 350-371 — Exploits River Valley & Bay d'Espoir **Route 380-392, 410-419 — Baie Verte **Route 401, 420-438 — Great Northern Peninsula **Route 402-407, 440-490 — Western Newfoundland **Route 500-520 — Labrador * Local highways are based on intersecting primary routes and numbered with extension (i.e. 210-1) ====Nova Scotia==== {{main|List of Nova Scotia provincial highways}} Provincial highways are divided into five series'. *100-Series — arterial highways *Trunk Highways *Route 200-399 — collector highways *Scenic Routes are unnumbered *Local roads are unnumbered ====Ontario==== {{main|Provincial highways in Ontario}} Provincial highways are divided into four classes. *Hwy 2-148, 400-427 — King's (primary) highways **Hwy 2-148 — intercity **[[400-series highways]] (freeways) *Hwy 500-699 — secondary highways *Hwy 800-813 — tertiary highways *7000-series — resource & industrial roads ====Prince Edward Island==== {{main|List of Prince Edward Island provincial highways}} Provincial highways are divided into three series'. *Route 1-4 — primary highways *Route 4-27 — secondary highways *Local highways are numbered by county **Route 101-199 — Prince County **Route 201-299 — Queens County **Route 301-399 — Kings County ====Quebec==== {{main|List of Quebec provincial highways}} Provincial highways are divided into three classes.
