So colour coding and even a different design depending on the nature of the route would be great. Just like in the good old days.

Count me as one person who was fooled by A-50. For Canada Day 150, I went up to Ottawa, and for some variety, I figured I would take the Quebec route instead of the Ontario route. I looked on Google Maps and scouted A-50 a little, basically checking Gatineau and Montreal, and saw it was 4 lane divided (I zoomed in enough to see the 2 lines), and figured it was fully divided along the entire route.
Imagine my surprise when I actually got there and the 4 lane went down to a 2 lane 2 way highway outside Montreal and for most of the distance.
Still, it's a beautiful drive and I don't regret taking it; but it was surprising since I figured a major route between two major cities would be fully twinned.
