The stretch between [[Calgary, Alberta|Calgary]] and [[Edmonton, Alberta|Edmonton]] is one of the most heavily used highways in Canada, and is designated the '''[[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]] Highway''' or the ‘QE2 Highway’. The speed limit along most parts of the highway between Fort Macleod and Edmonton is 110&nbsp;km/h (70&nbsp;mph) and in urban parts such as Calgary or Edmonton it is 100&nbsp;km/h. During the winter time, accidents are not uncommon as the weather changes rapidly, and drivers underestimate the conditions. The worst area for accidents is the corridor north of [[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]] and south of [[Red Deer, Alberta|Red Deer]]. Road closures are not uncommon. A sudden ice storm can create numerous accidents and pile-ups. ==Route== As its main north-south corridor, Highway 2 enters Alberta south of [[Cardston, Alberta|Cardston]], at the [[Carway, Alberta|Carway]] [[US-Canada border|border]] crossing with [[Montana]] (where it continues as [[U.S. Highway 89]]). It travels northward through [[Fort Macleod, Alberta|Fort Macleod]] to [[Calgary, Alberta|Calgary]], [[Red Deer, Alberta|Red Deer]], and [[Edmonton, Alberta|Edmonton]]. North of Edmonton the highway continues to [[Athabasca]], after which the highway continues northwesterly along the south shore of [[Lesser Slave Lake]] into [[High Prairie, Alberta|High Prairie]], north to [[Peace River, Alberta|Peace River]], west to [[Fairview, Alberta|Fairview]] and finally south to [[Grande Prairie, Alberta|Grande Prairie]]. As the main north-south access in Alberta, Highway 2 is the preferred path of the [[CANAMEX Corridor]].<ref>[http://www.infratrans.gov.ab.ca/INFTRA_Content/docType59/Production/pol295.htm Government of Alberta—CANAMEX Trade corridor]</ref> Between Fort Macleod and Edmonton, Highway 2 maintains no fewer than four lanes of traffic and is largely a controlled-access [[freeway]] between [[Okotoks, Alberta|Okotoks]] and Edmonton, with improvements underway to eliminate at-grade crossings. It functions as a northern extension of [[Interstate 15]] when combined with [[Alberta Highway 4|Highway 4]] and a short section of [[Alberta Highway 3|Highway 3]]. <gallery> Image:Deerfoot Trail x Peigan Trail.JPG|[[Deerfoot Trail]] at the interchange with Peigan Trail in [[Calgary]] Image:Alberta Crossfield single 2A foreground divided hwy 2 distance 005.jpg|At [[Crossfield, Alberta|Crossfield]] single 2A foreground with the divided Hwy 2 in the distance. Image:Peaceriver.jpg|Hwy 2 near [[Peace River, Alberta|Peace River]] </gallery> North of Okotoks, the three northbound lanes of the highway split into [[Macleod Trail (Calgary)|Macleod Trail]] ([[Alberta Highway 2A|Highway 2A]]) and [[Deerfoot Trail]], which keeps the Highway 2 designation through Calgary. It passes immediately west of the [[Calgary International Airport]] before continuing north to the city of [[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]], which is bisected by Highway 2, while a number of other smaller communities such as [[Crossfield, Alberta|Crossfield]] are bypassed. The newer Highway 2 is built east of the communities and the ‘old’ route has become Highway 2A. Red Deer is also primarily bypassed. ''Gasoline Alley'', located at the south end of the city, is a popular stop for travellers headed for Calgary or Edmonton, with several fuel stations and food establishments. Continuing north, the highway again bypasses the smaller communities, this time on the west. [[Leduc, Alberta|Leduc]], south of Edmonton, is bisected like Airdrie; however, this has been a result of westward growth of the community. The highway also passes immediately east of [[Edmonton International Airport]], about 15 km south of Edmonton. When the highway enters [[Edmonton, Alberta|Edmonton]], it becomes '''Calgary Trail''' (southbound) and '''Gateway Boulevard''' (northbound), then '''[[Whitemud Drive]]''' to the southwest part of the city. It then shares roadbeds with '''Anthony Henday Drive''' (Highway 216) and '''Yellowhead Trail''' ([[Alberta provincial highway 16|Highway 16]]) before heading north again along '''St. Albert Trail''' as it exits Edmonton towards '''[[St. Albert, Alberta|St. Albert]]'''. This section of the highway is twinned until it reaches north of [[Morinville, Alberta|Morinville]] and after that it is a 2-lane road for almost the rest of the stretch. Highway 2 continues north to [[Athabasca, Alberta|Athabasca]], then west through [[Slave Lake, Alberta|Slave Lake]] and [[High Prairie, Alberta|High Prairie]] before continuing north to [[McLennan, Alberta|McLennan]], west to [[Alberta Highway 49|Highway 49]] and then north to [[Peace River, Alberta|Peace River]]. The highway turns west then south through [[Grimshaw, Alberta|Grimshaw]] (the junction of the [[Mackenzie Highway]]) and [[Fairview, Alberta|Fairview]], then over the [[Dunvegan Bridge]], where it crosses the [[Peace River (Canada)|Peace River]] and ultimately terminating at an interchange at [[Alberta Highway 43|Highway 43]] just north of [[Grande Prairie, Alberta|Grande Prairie]]. Prior to highway renumbering in northwestern Alberta, Highway 2 followed Highway 43's current alignment into [[British Columbia]], where it became [[British Columbia Highway 2|Highway 2]] to [[Dawson Creek, British Columbia|Dawson Creek]]. ====Queen Elizabeth II Highway==== On [[May 23]], [[2005]], the section between Calgary and Edmonton was renamed the [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom|Queen Elizabeth II]] Highway in honour of Her Majesty's visit to Alberta as part of the province's [[centennial]] celebrations; the first road sign was personally unveiled by the Queen. It is the first highway in Canada to be named for the current Queen ([[Ontario]]’s [[Queen Elizabeth Way]] is named for [[Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon|Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother]]). ==Exit list==
