Talk:Yellowhead Highway

Designation south of Kamloops
I do not believe Highway 5 retains the Yellowhead designation south of Kamloops. Can anyone confirm this? 23skidoo 20:29, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Eastern End
"Officially, the eastern end of the Yellowhead Highway is at The Forks in Winnipeg."

This is false. The Eastern end is at "Mile 0" and is so demarcated through a sign indicating same at the corner of Portage Ave and Main St. You can view it heading west on Portage immediately after the intersection.

If anyone can find proof that The Forks is the end, I would be open to changing it back.

redirect
Someone should make Yellowhead highway a redirect. dunno how

"Highway of Tears"
Peter Greenberg, the travel editor for NBC’s Today show, CNBC and MSNBC, the author of The New York Times best-sellers Don’t Go There!, put the Yellowhead Highway on his list of places NOT to go:


 * "Don't Go There!"

Peter Greenberg's guide to the must-miss places of the world.

He had this to say:


 * "Even what seems like a perfectly safe place to visit can be a deadly destination — on the road. Highway 16 in Canada is nicknamed the "Highway of Tears"; in 30 years, there have been at least 43 unsolved murders of women along this isolated highway."

1) Should something be in this article about it?

2) Are most of these in British Columbia, in the remote part of the route?

3) Is there another route in the U.S. that is equally as bad?

Winnipeg portion
The article omits any reference to the fact the Yellowhead route leaves its TCH concurrency at some point in Winnipeg, as it becomes concurrent with another route as it follows Portage to Portage & Main (TCH follows Broadway to Main). By the way someone above noted that the Yellowhead does not end at The Forks. I agree, as Google Street View shows the Mile 0 marker just west of Portage & Main. 96.51.188.175 (talk) 23:56, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
