Re: Why doesn't Manitoba have freeways?

Not enough money honey, would be the short answer, but hopefully, one day, we'll see a fully limited access Trans-Canada, PTH 100/101 and PTH 75. There are very short stretches of freeway at present on 100/101, but before long you will encounter a set of traffic lights.

At present, all of the above have intersections that are downright dangerous given the volume of transport traffic. The TC & Yellowhead 16 intersection perhaps the most noteworthy. I believe improvements are coming.

I think I'm correct in saying that Winnipeg is by far the largest city in North America without any freeways in the urban area, but that may not be entirely a bad thing, depending on your perspective.
