Detailed NHS route inventory[edit]

Bearcat, not sure if you have seen the 2005 NHS Review Task Force Report yet. Appendix 2 has a detailed route inventory for the NHS by province and territory. I just made some adjustments to the Alberta section based on Appendix 2 and added the report as a new ref under the name "nhsreport". Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 08:21, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I was trying to suss things out via the map. Bearcat (talk) 19:15, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Glaring error[edit]

"Unlike the similar National Highway System in the United States, the Canadian system does not include any federally-maintained highways comparable to the Interstates or the U.S. Route System, "

Interstates and U.S. Highways are not "federally maintained"; they are all state-maintained and -owned highways numbered in a common national system coordinated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Yes, the original Interstates were financed 90% by the federal government with a 10% match by the states, but they've always been owned by the states. Imzadi 1979 → 04:34, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Windsor-Essex Parkway[edit]

You have Ontario Highway 3 as the westernmost point on 401. This is outdated and wrong. In the annual reports the length of 401 has been gradually creeping upward, reaching 824.6km in 2016 and 827km in 2017. As the Québec border is km 828, the only way to get these numbers is to remove ON 3 as western endpoint (which used to be valid before the 2015 completion of the Windsor-Essex Parkway, now the Herb Grey Parkway) and include the entire 401 right back to km 1. This might continue to be a moving target as the Gordie Howe International Bridge opens in 2025, as that structure is a key piece of infrastructure in its own right. 66.102.87.40 (talk) 17:03, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
