Also, when I was referring to HWY#2 in Alberta, I didn't mean Edmonton but the entire stretch from Airdrie to Leduc. It still has some level crossings doesn't it? I know most maps don't show it as a complete freeway but rather mostly freeway and the other sections shown as just a 4 lane road.
Is that the case still or have they brought the entire road up to freeway standards?

Having scanned over the satellite map, it looks like the labels on Google Maps are pretty accurate - the darker orange sections are freeway and the yellow sections have level crossings (generally a country road with stop signs). Speed limit is 110 throughout.

I don't think it's a priority to get rid of these crossings - besides one or two they are mostly on a long straight flat stretch of highway; you can see vehicles coming from miles away. Only major risk would be in extreme weather conditions.
