===Roads===
Local roadways are not based on a grid system as they are in [[Vancouver]] or [[Edmonton]], and many streets do not follow a straight line from beginning to end as they wind around hills, parks, coastlines, and historic neighbourhoods, often changing names two or three times.<ref>{{cite web|date=2019-07-17|title=Welcome to Victoria, where a street can have four names|url=https://www.vicnews.com/news/welcome-to-victoria-where-a-street-can-have-four-names/|access-date=2022-01-13|website=Victoria News|language=en-US}}</ref> There is no directional indication in street names that may be used in other cities with [[Numbered street|numbered roads]] where a street may run north–south or avenue may run east–west.<ref>{{cite web|date=2017-10-06|title=What's the Difference Between a Street, a Road, and an Avenue?|url=https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/504368/whats-difference-between-street-road-and-avenue|access-date=2022-01-13|website=www.mentalfloss.com|language=en}}</ref>

The compact size of the city with few steep hills lends itself readily to smaller, fuel efficient alternatives to full size passenger cars, such as [[Scooter (motorcycle)|scooters]], [[Smart Fortwo|Smart Cars]], [[motorcycle]]s and [[electric bicycle]]s. Victoria incentivizes the use of smaller modes of transport by offering smaller metered parking spaces in the downtown core specifically designated for small vehicles and motorcycles.<ref>{{cite web|title=Motorcycle Parking|url=https://www.victoria.ca/EN/main/residents/parking/motorcycle-parking.html|access-date=2022-01-13|website=www.victoria.ca|language=en}}</ref> [[Rush hour]] traffic delays along the [[Trans-Canada Highway]] to western suburban municipalities (including [[Langford, British Columbia|Langford]], [[Colwood, British Columbia|Colwood]], [[Sooke]] and [[Metchosin]]) is commonly referred to as the "Colwood Crawl".<ref>{{cite web|date=2019-02-26|title=Does the 'Colwood Crawl' need a new name?

Victoria serves as the western terminus (Mile Zero) for Canada's [[Trans-Canada Highway]], the longest national highway in the world. The Mile Zero marker is at the southernmost point of [[Douglas Street (Victoria, British Columbia)|Douglas Street]] where it meets Dallas Road along the waterfront. The Mile Zero location includes a statue to honour [[Terry Fox]].
