A New Way of Viewing Highways
In the old days I used to buy the road atlases before travelling, but they were often deceptive. For example, in Washington State there's a highway from Spokane to the Tri-cities (Richland, etc.), and it was shown as a red line, the same as up the Okanagan and 99 from Whistler to Lillooet. But it was a freeway with a 110km/h limit (70mph) while 99 to Lillooet has a 60km/h limit. The reason it was shown as a red line instead of the blue or yellow that freeways were shown as is that it was not an "interstate" highway, which I think means that it was not operated by the federal government.
Highways should be based upon average speeds, and not on how much traffic they get, how many lanes they have, or who operates the highway. Therefore, highway 97 in BC should look like this:

Yes, but I used Google to help with calculating average speeds.
