[edit] Primary highways

These are the main highways in Alberta. They are numbered from 1 to 100, with the exception of the loop routes around Calgary and Edmonton which are numbered in the 200s. Highways 1, 2, 3, 4, 16 and 43 are the most important highways and are divided highways or freeways for much or all of their length. Speed limits are generally 100 km/h (65 mph) except on some divided highways and freeways which are 110 km/h (70 mph).

[edit] Secondary highways

Highways 500 to 699 are east–west roads; higher numbered roads are in the north. Highways 700 to 899 are north–south roads; higher numbered roads are in the east. 900-series highways are newer routes that have been established as potential corridors for Primary highways. Some of these highways have gravel sections. Speed limits range from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 100 km/h (65 mph).
