==== Roads and highways ==== [[File:AB216wRoad-Exit46BA-AB15 (33828017685).jpg|alt=|thumb|[[Anthony Henday Drive]] in Edmonton. The freeway is the main [[ring road]] for the city.]] A largely gridded system forms most of Edmonton's street and road network.<ref name="Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board">{{cite web |url=http://webdocs.edmonton.ca/transit/about_ets/etsab2008Minutes/etsab_minutes_apr08.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090326205306/http://webdocs.edmonton.ca/transit/about_ets/etsab2008Minutes/etsab_minutes_apr08.pdf |archive-date=March 26, 2009 |author=Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board |title=Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board |access-date=February 27, 2009 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The address system is mostly numbered, with streets running south to north and avenues running east to west. In built-up areas built since the 1950s, local streets and major roadways generally do not conform to the grid system. Major roadways include [[Kingsway (Edmonton)|Kingsway]], [[Yellowhead Trail]] ([[Alberta Highway 16|Highway 16]]), [[Whitemud Drive]] and [[Anthony Henday Drive]]. The major roads connecting to other communities elsewhere in Alberta, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan are the [[Yellowhead Highway]] to the west and east and [[Alberta Highway 2|Highway 2]] ([[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] Highway) to the south.<ref name="Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway Association">{{cite web|url=http://www.transcanadayellowhead.com/ |author=Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway Association |title=Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway Association |access-date=March 7, 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928145721/http://www.transcanadayellowhead.com/ |archive-date=September 28, 2007 }}</ref><ref name="Alberta Highway 2">{{cite web|url=http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/Content/docType329/Production/11x17_Provincial_Network_Map.pdf |author=Government of Alberta |title=Alberta Highway 2 |access-date=March 23, 2009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100705094637/http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/Content/docType329/Production/11x17_Provincial_Network_Map.pdf |archive-date=July 5, 2010 }}</ref>
