More about Autoroute 55

[taxlady]

So, I tried to find out more about that "limited access highway" that had intersections with country roads.

• Highway numbers from 1-99 are autoroutes (limited access highways).


• Even-numbered autoroutes run more or less parallel to the Saint Lawrence River


• Odd-numbered autoroutes run more or less perpendicular to the Saint Lawrence River


• Autoroute 55 has a name: Autoroute Transquébecoise


• The Autoroute Transquébecoise is mostly two lane.


• A different section of the Autoroute Transquébecoise is being widened to four lanes.


• That autoroutes don't have (with rare exceptions) level crossings (trains) or intersections.


• That unless there are signs to the contrary, the speed limit on an autoroute is minimum 60 kph and max 100 kph.

But, nowhere could I find out why this one was so much like a country highway.
