Source-derived summary

The following is a list of Manitoba provincial trunk highways and provincial roads. Provincial Trunk Highways are the primary highways, and Provincial Roads are the secondary highways.

Primary routes

These Provincial Trunk Highways are numbered from 1 to 99 for mainline routes and 100 to 199 for loop/spur routes (only four currently exist).

Provincial Trunk Highways 1 and 75, as well as the Perimeter Highway (PTH 100/PTH 101), are the most important and are divided highways for most of their length with some sections at expressway or freeway standards. PTHs 1A (Brandon), 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 9A, 10, 12, 14, 16, 44, 52 and 59 also have some divided sections. Speed limits are generally 90 km/h (55 mph) to 110 km/h (70 mph).

Secondary routes

These Provincial Roads are numbered from 200 to 596. Some of these routes are gravel for part or all of their length. The speed limit is generally 80 to 100 km/h (50 to 60 mph).

Former secondary routes

PR 208 (PTH 12 in Zhoda to PR 201 east of Vita) — became part of PR 302 in 1985-1986.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of Manitoba provincial highways” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1985, 1986—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, Manitoba and provincial can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1840883. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1985 and 1986.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
