[edit] Hierarchy Definitions

Provincies and Territories, and counties, all have different heirarchies. Most provinces take care of county roads, numbering them as secondary/collector/trunk roads. Some provinces, like Ontario and Quebec, have secret designations for highways of some significance and importance, but not enough of such to actually be signed as a provincial highawy. Ontario has its 7000-series roads, and Quebec has its R-series roads (Example: R-0920 is a secret designation, with R-0927 to the east, paralelling it).

[edit] Project Template

This Province/Territory/County's highway articles are managed by the Canada Roads WikiProject, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to Highways in Canada. If enough interest grows in editing the highway articles of this province or territory, and you want to start a new provincial or territorial highway WikiProject, see WP:CRWP.

Participants can also use the project template above, by typing {{Canada Roads WikiProject}}.

[edit] Stubs

To avoid unnecessary redirects and reverts, please discuss any new stub type you wish to create at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals prior to its creation and placement in articles or tables.

{{Canada-road-stub}} - use if your Province/Territory/County is not listed below.
