The Trans-Canada Highway
eyre highway
Ontario is not a nation, therefore it does not have a "national" highway. By far the busiest highway in Ontario is Hwy 401, which crosses the Southern portion from Windsor, through Toronto, along the northern shore of Lake Ontario and extends beyond the Quebec border. Canada's national highway is the Trans Canada Highway, which branches out and follows several different routes as it cuts across the province.

The Trans-Canada Highway is also known by numbers, the most common of which is 1. The Trans-Canada Highway is also known as Highway 1 in all four western provinces plus Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, and by a variety of numbers in the remaining four provinces. Many people think that the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway (a.k.a. Highway 401) in southern Ontario is part of the Trans-Canada Highway, but that is a misconception. No part of the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway is the Trans-Canada Highway. Highway 16 in the four western provinces is "a" Trans-Canada Highway, but not "the" Trans-Canada Highway. Highway 16 is also known as the Yellowhead Highway.
