  British Columbia provincial highway 19 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
British Columbia provincial highway 19, known locally as the Island Highway, is the main north-south thoroughfare on Vancouver Island north of Nanaimo.
The highway then winds its way past Nimpkish Lake, then through a 163 km long stretch of dense forest terrain, through the community of Woss and a junction with Sayward, finally entering the city of Campbell River at a junction with highways 28 and 19A, just past the river that the city is named for.
The entire stretch of Highway 19 between Campbell River and the city of Parksville is a divided four-lane freeway or expressway (alternates), with a nominal speed limit of 110 km/h, and is referred to as the "Inland Island Highway".

 British Columbia provincial highway 99 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The number of this highway is derived from the old U.S. Highway 99, which the highway originally connected with at the Canada-U.S. boundary.
Highway 99 was re-aligned to the Upper Levels Highway and extended to Britannia Beach one year later, being extended further to Squamish in 1959, and then to Pemberton in 1966.
The highway has a checkered history; as a single-lane undivided highway with no outside barrier (the highway is built on a steep cliff overlooking Howe Sound), many motorists have lost their lives on it due to inclement weather, poor visibility, or drunk driving (local media at one point started calling it the "Drive-to-Die Highway").

 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.
Heckman Pass, however, is the Mother-of-All highway ascents in British Columbia and the rest of Canada, at its steepest rising 900m in 9.7km.
Perhaps the quietest highway segment in the lower half of British Columbia is the #31 north of Meadow Creek.
