Yellowhead Trail (Edmonton)

The Yellowhead Trail is the portion of Highway 16 that passes through the City of Edmonton. It is the major east-west corridor through the north side of the city. Residents of Edmonton's suburbs, Stony Plain and Spruce Grove in the west and Sherwood Park in the east, use the Yellowhead on their commute to the city. Interchanges already exist at eleven intersections throughout the city limits, but traffic is often jammed at the many intersections still using traffic lights. Current plans call for the Yellowhead Trail to be upgraded to a fully functioning freeway.^[1]
