Highway
Major highways are often named and numbered by the governments that typically develop and maintain them. Australia's Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world at over and runs almost the entire way around the continent. China has the world's largest network of highways followed closely by the United States of America. Some highways, like the Pan-American Highway or the European routes, span multiple countries. Some major highway routes include ferry services, such as U.S. Route 10, which crosses Lake Michigan.
Alberta Highway 40
Two interesting facts about highway 40 are: The segment from roughly Hinton to Grande Prairie is part of the shortest fully paved land route from the USA to the Klondike Gold fields in the Yukon, and if the segments of the Forestry Trunk Road and Highway 40 were connected, the total length would be approximately and it would be the second longest highway in Alberta.
