The Trans Canada Highway

[@williamers3885]

The drive from Sault Ste Marie to thunder Bay along lake superior hwy #17 is one of the most beautiful in Canada

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

The Lake Superior Route of the TCH is entirely part of the mainline route of the TCH and is entirely in ON 17. You see, ON 17 and ON 417 form the TCH Mainline in Ontario.

[@outdooraddventure]

Absolutely I drove all the way through Lake Superior provincial park and then finally reaching Manitoba and Saskatchewan and very boring but sort of nice at the same time all the way to Golden BC

i agree, drove it lots of time. i would avoid hwy 11 if i could

[@WanukeX]

@@MrWhatisalthough, highway 11 does have the advantage of much higher fuel efficiency given how much flatter the terrain of it is, if you’re in a truck or towing something like a boat you can save a good amount of money by using 11 over 17. But obviously 17 is much more scenic.

Quebec's highway numbering system is based on the US interstate highway numbering system, using the St-Lawrence as the East-West reference. Even the Quebec highway markers bear a striking resemblance to the US interstate highway markers. This is why highway 85 changes to highway 20 in Rivière-Du-Loup. 85 is perpendicular to the St-Lawrence while 20 is parallel to the St-Lawrence.

The major North-South hwys in bc (Routes 101, 99-93) are a continued pattern of the federal hwys in the US. Most meet at the border and follow the same geographic positions, starting off the coast from route 101, some ending in Mexico!

[@stickynorth]

Most of my life has been about traversing stretches of it across Alberta... Mostly Highway 16 from east of Edmonton to Jasper as well as the Calgary-Banff corridor. I once did a summer road trip in my Smart Fortwo all the way to Portland from Edmonton using Highway 16/1 and then I-5... So much fun!

Technically speaking highway 1 doesn't go through the center of Vancouver, it just touches the edge of it along the Vancouver/Burnaby Border. That being said the entire Metro Vancouver region is one giant urban sprawl and the highway does go through the center of that (although mostly through the centers of Burnaby, and Langley

[@RogerWKnight]

The reason the Transcanada was built was because as late as the 1960's, it was easier for Canadians living in southern Ontario and Quebec to cross into the US at Windsor-Detroit, and drive the US 10 or US 2 route to Washington and then north into British Columbia. Prior to the Covid Political Cytokine Storm, Canadians might take this route, Interstate 90, to use the cheaper American gasoline.

[@ALuimes]

As well as following highway numbering that makes sense!

[@snoopqc1979]

Saying that Quebec doesn't do its road system logically is a matter of perspective. If compared to the rest of the country, indeed it is. But if you compare it with the US interstate system, then it's probably the one that makes the most sense. When most of the network was built in the 1960's, anticipating a lot of visitors from the US for Montreal's 1967 world fair, the government opted for a system modeled on the interstate system. That means main express ways with controlled access are numbered 1-100 and 400 +, with even numbers for east-west roads and odd numbers for north-south roads. It also uses the same kind of red and blue shield sign for them, keeping the white and green trans canada sign next to them to indicate you are on a trans canada highway.

[@ALuimes]

But Quebec is just one province, not the same as doing that on a national scale. Quebec's system is akin to the New York State Thruway system, with the order reversed.

Hwy 104 in Nova Scotia is now twinned from the NB border to past Antigonish. The new section opened last year.

[@markostner]

The Trans Canada is a substandard highway. It was substandard when it was built and way substandard now. Much of it is 2 lanes. If one was driving across the country it's cheaper and faster to take I-90 across. Granted there are some very scenic stretches like western Ontario, Alberta, and BC, but I found myself disappointed and saying to myself, is this the best they could do? AB has a modern stretch as does BC west of Kamloops.

If you plan to travel east to Ontario, beware of multiple Moose crossings and oncoming vehicle on the single lane TransCanada highway. The TC highway from Kenora to Barrie takes about 2-3 days to cross. You will be surrounded by huge Boreal Forest and Scattered Lakes so visibility is limited.

Being from Toronto, I never really considered highway 7 and 12 highways because they aren't expressways. But it's interesting to see that they are part of TransCanada highway network. I would have considered the most viable route to be the 401 lol

[@Scientician.BovineUniversity]

The TCH is supposed to be a direct cross route. As a rural person they are highways, the stuff in New Brunswick is tiny.

[@ALuimes]

The 401 would make more sense, but even then, the Toronto-Windsor section would still not be the TCH. The piggybacking over sections (not even the whole thing) of provincial highways is stupid. Canada should have a regular federal highway network.

[@slender_04f14]

Same in BC. The Coquihalla, a much shorter, freeway alignment between Vancouver and Kamloops, doesn't get the #1 designation despite it being the much higher-quality, more driven route. This is probably because it was built in the 80s, way after the Trans-Canada had originally been established.

Ontario-7 is very busy, I have been stuck in traffic a few times, as 401 to 115 to 7 is the quickest way to Ottawa from Toronto and 12 to 7 is for other areas such as Western Canada, and the Barrie-Newmarket area. Also Ontario highways do not use Trans Canada Shields for its numbers, they put a blank Trans Canada one underneath the Crown. Also that 85 section in the 39 km section is known as 185 as it is not divided.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Why is the TCH Mainline quicker between the GTA and Ottawa? I mean, most drivers use the 401 and 416 between Toronto and Ottawa.

[@Scientician.BovineUniversity]

@@CrystalClearWith8BE it is a more direct route.

[@ALuimes]

@@Scientician.BovineUniversity It's more direct, but since the TCH follows the 417 already, why even have it? Why not stay on the 400 to Toronto and then follow the 401 east? A national highway should connect a country's most important cities.

[@scottcampbell2707]

I expect that the reason it doesn't go to Toronto and Windsor is that the TCH is a route designated for federal funding. There is enough traffic between Montreal/Toronto/London/Windsor that there is no need for federal subsidies.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Between those, basically, ON 401 and QC A-20 are the routes between Windsor and Quebec City and they both form the "Quebec City-Windsor Corridor Freeway (I made up that name and it's just a made-up name for those two forming a heavily traveled freeway in one.)".

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Plus, A-20 bypasses Quebec City and crosses through it's neighbor aka Levis. A-40 crosses Quebec City and ends in the east of the city near the St. Lawrence River at an interchange with Routes 138 and 168.

As I learned during the Covid shutdowns of 2020-21, If I am not mistaken there are only 3 roads in total that connect Manitoba and Ontario, and only the T-Can and Ontario Province Route 312 are paved. The T-Can is the main route, and only real way thru from one province to the other for most drivers. Provincial Road 312 connects to some cottages on the ON side of the line, but is not in the best of shape and I do not believe there is a way from there to connect to the main T-Can route. (The only other route x the provincial line is on the Shoal Lake Indian Reservation further south, which is not paved and dead ends when the peninsula it is on ends at one of the parts of the Lake in the Woods. ) Canada is a very spread out country with some really think connections between its areas

Question: when I was in Quebec I was told the TCH wasn’t numbered. It overlaps with 85 but isn’t 85. There is no number. That’s what Montrealers said 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Milnoc]

Quebec's highway numbering system mimics the US Interstate numbering system. Assigning the TCH a custom number would break the highway numbering scheme. Highways parallel to the St-Lawrence are even-numbered while highways perpendicular to the St-Lawrence are odd-numbered. Even Quebec's highway identification badges are a close copy of the US interstate badges. This is why you have Quebec highways changing numbers at certain spots such as 20/85 at Rivière-Du-Loup and 10/55 at Sherbrooke. The same highway is literally changing its orientation and needs to change its number so that it remains easy to find on a map.

[@PatricenotPatrick]

@@Milnoc I get that. But I was more surprised that it is numbered in other provinces. Since it’s a trans national highway and not a QC route, the numbering shouldn’t be affected. No biggie just a lil quirk I found traveling across provinces over the year.

[@MrShortWhiteGuy]

I often wish the Canadian government would make the highway more organized. By that I mean make the whole highway route 1. They can swap NB-2 with NB-1 and change ON-17 & ON-417 to make it ON-1 and have a QC-1 & NS-1 conjoined with their already existing highways. They could also make the other ways that are mostly in Ontario a highway 1A, 1B, etc. There is no need to call route 16 in the western provinces the Trans-Canada highway as it is already known as the Yellowhead highway. They could also make a Trans-Canadian highway 2 going from the U.S. border to the Arctic Ocean replacing AB-2, AB-43, BC-97, YT-1, YT-2, YT-5 & NT-8.

[@musqul8566]

Highways are provincial responsibility. The whole Trans-Canada Highway things was a publicity stunt to encourage unity.

@@CrystalClearWith8BE Hwys 17 and 417 should've been numbered Hwy 1 (signed with TCH shields only) as Ontario didn't even have a Hwy 1 previously.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

Since there's no Hwy 1 in Ontario, do you remember Hwy 2 is mostly replaced by the 401 for most of it's length? However, the 401 bypasses Hwy 2 between Woodstock and Eastern Toronto while Hwy 2 was parallel by the 403, QEW and the Gardiner Expressway.

@@CrystalClearWith8BE Why do you keep replying to comments by saying stuff unrelated to those comments?

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

@@ALuimes, I said about ON 2, even though it's not part of the TCH Network. I'm sorry. I don't know why Ontario doesn't have a Hwy 1, but starts with Hwy 2.

Wow.. so many typos on that map..

Trans canada is not rral highway. Spee is 90 kmh. 50mph and traffic sign in between

[@MrBoliao98]

It isn't really a highway if it isn't a 4 lane road

[@lifelongtrail]

FYI, according to The Daily Guadian Russia has 85,500km of railway system vs 48,000km only in Canada. No one asked your opinion how to develop their country. Why showing soldiers and tanks while you are talking about roads comparison!?

[@zombiefryd]

The world has become a sideshow to the point the trans Canada highway is trying to identify as something else? Wild…

No one here pronounces Portage La Prairie with a French accent. Also Nanaimo: you pronounce the I, not the A before it

Petition to make the 401 trans Canada

[@ALuimes]

The problem is the west end of the 401 is the Detroit River not the Pacific (Joke, I get your point)

[@John-nc4bl]

Since the growth of both countries is stunted by a border, Canada and America should unify. Just think of the number of Canadains who have gone to America to seek their fame and wealth and have achieved their dreams. The reverse has not happened.

[@John-nc4bl]

America's interstate highway system is far superior to Canadas small network of roads. When truck drivers are criss cross the continent, they prefer driving on American highways.

[@ronpreece3429]

You would think Canada would take more pride in their one major highway. I drove it, and it’s a total embarrassment. I avoid at all costs and go through the US. It needs to be upgraded with proper rest stops and divided sections. Where has our vision and pride of country gone ?

[@rudypoeschek2814]

what one is the real mile 0 n Canadas weird, has mile makers even a town called 100 mile house at a 100 mile marker but uses kilometers lol ohh Canada is all mixed up like this with everything too from weight to distance lol.

[@LiqdPT]

They were using miles when a lot of the TCH was built.

Canada's umbelical cord.
