[edit] Arterial (100-series) highways

See 100-series highways (Nova Scotia)

Historical Note: Nova Scotia's original arterial highway number system had route number signs in the same shape as the U.S. Highway route number signs. These signs are now used for Trunk routes.

[edit] Trunk Highways

A comparison of current highway maps and the 1947 Imperial Oil map of the Maritime Provinces will account for many of the "missing" trunk highways:

  • Trunk 5 has been totally replaced by Highway 105.
  • Trunk 9 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 209.
  • Trunk 11 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 311.
  • Trunk 15 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 215.
  • Trunk 17 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 217.
  • Trunk 18 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 318.
  • Trunk 21 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 321.
  • Trunk 24 has been redesignated as Collector Highway 224.
  • Trunk 30 (former usage) was redesignated as Collector Highway 330, on Cape Sable Island.

These changes are also visible in comparison to the 1955 Major Roads historical map on the Atlas of Canada website. [1]
