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.
