 ===Trans-Canada Highway===
 Road type: Freeway<br />
 Primary name: Hwy 1<br />
 Alternate: Trans-Canada Hwy<br />
-There are parts of Hwy 1 that travel through some National/Provincial parks with frequent stops, reduced speed and undivided portions. These segments should be reduced to a Major highway until the speed increases, stops are minimized and the highway is divided again.

 ===Quebec Roads===

 The big exception to this rule is Autoroute 50 which is still a freeway, even though some small parts of it are not limited access and some are only two lane with no divider.
 The official road map of Quebec should be consulted to determine the status of provincial routes. The map is available in [http://www.quebec511.gouv.qc.ca/fr/carte_routiere/ French] and [http://www.quebec511.gouv.qc.ca/en/carte_routiere/? English].

-Minor highways in yellow-orange on the map should be in yellow:
+Major highways on the map are in depicted in red and should be red in Waze.
 http://www.waze.com/wiki/images/3/37/RoadYell.png
 A very general rule of thumb is that 100-series highways are in red while 200 and 300-series highways are in yellow. This is not completely accurate, however, so please consult the official map.

-Certain Major highways are two lane but are still in red because they collect the minor highways, and many county roads and we need to distinguish them, examples are the 174 east of Ottawa/Orleans, the 17, the 138, 38 the 7 in eastern Ontario.

+Freeways in Canada need to follow a different standard than in the US.

+'''Minor/Major Highways''' should be named in this format:<br />
 When considering the road type, use the [[Map_Legend#Road_Type_Classifications:|rules for the US]] as a guideline, with the idea that a Canadian "Freeway" may lack one of the criteria used in the US (e.g. Whitemud Freeway in Edmonton is 80 km/h, but meets all other criteria; Hwy 16 W of Edmonton doesn't have ramps for every junction, but meets all other criteria)

 * For wide roads (at least 3 lanes on each direction) with two directions of traffic, consider [[Best_map_editing_practice#When_.28Not.29_to_Split_a_Two-Way_Road|the best map editing practice for North America]] so that a GPS lock will be made correctly. Note: standard lane width is about 3.5m, typical GPS accuracy is about 10-20m. '''Generally, splitting a road is not desirable.'''
