Route Description
From west to east, Highway 16 passes through Jasper National Park, Hinton, Edson, Spruce Grove, Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Elk Island National Park, Vegreville, Vermilion, and Lloydminster. Signalized intersections exist in Jasper, Hinton, Edson, Edmonton, and Lloydminster. Highway bypass alignments have been planned for Hinton, Edson, and Lloydminster, all of which have been designated as Provincial Highway No. 16X.
Within the City of Edmonton, Highway 16 is named Yellowhead Trail. Most sections of Yellowhead Trail are free-flowing, while numerous intersections between 156 Street and 50 Street are signalized. Plans call for replacement of all signalled intersections with interchanges, flyovers and closures to bring Yellowhead Trail up to freeway standards by the year 2041.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
