A road showing a single-digit route marker is most likely which type of road?

• A. Provincial highway
• B. Local road
• C. Street name
• D. Farm lane

Answer: (A)

When you see a road sign with a route number, that sign is indicating a highway in the province’s numbered network. Alberta’s provincial highways are signed with numbered shields, and even a single-digit number on such a sign means you’re on a provincial highway. Local roads and farm lanes, on the other hand, are usually identified by names or non-numbered designations rather than route-number shields, and urban streets are identified by street names rather than route numbers. So a road showing a single-digit route marker is most likely a provincial highway.
