=== Rural Highways === | |||
Highways are defined by the provincial numbering scheme. Any numbered route will be either a Freeway, Major Highway or Minor Highway, regardless of the use of stop lights or the path it takes through a city/town. Other routes may also receive highway types based on their relative importance. | |||
Differentiation between a major and minor highway is largely based on its destination and importance of the route. A highway with a letter suffix in its number is usually less important than the corresponding highway without the letter suffix. For example Hwy 19A in Courtenay is a major highway, one type lower than Hwy 19 (freeway), and Hwy 4A in Coombs is a minor highway, one type lower than Hwy 4 (major highway). | |||
