  British Columbia provincial highway 9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
British Columbia provincial highway 9, the Agassiz Highway, is a north-south route in the eastern part of the Fraser Valley.
It acts as the last connection between Highways 1 and 7 eastbound before Hope, and is the main access to the resort village of Harrison Hot Springs.
When the section of the Highway 1 freeway east of Chilliwack opened in 1961, Highway 9 was extended south to a junction with the new Highway 1 alignment.

 Highway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Generally, a highway is a road which has multiple lanes of traffic in each direction, often with a physical division (median) between opposing traffic, and separate access ramps to and from the highway which are more widely separated than connections on a standard road and are often grade-separated.
In Brazil, highways (or expressway/freeway) are named "rodovia", and Brazilian highways are divided in two types: regional highways (generally of less importance and entirely inside of one state) and national highways (of major importance to the country).
Highways are divided, but may have at-grade or grade-separated intersections as demand requires, private driveways are minimized (but not completely forbidden), bicyclists and pedestrians are sometimes allowed, and the speed limits range from 45 to 55 miles per hour.

 My Bicycle Tours in British Columbia
Ironically, almost out of the mountains, one of the steepest hills encountered on a provincial highway was on the Lougheed (#7) near Agassiz: marked "11% for 2km" the 100m westward ascent of Mount Woodside (at least for the first 0.4km) is steeper—like Cayoosh Pass almost unbearable on a fully laden bicycle.
