Don't these places have alternative routes? Or is 'Highway' a lower status road than in my mind? Around here, when we made the freeway system (You know, the one nice thing Hitler did for us), we made them as entirely new roads, supplementing rather than supplanting the old roads, so you'd use those old 1-lane-in-each-direction roads to move cattle rather than the big separated-directions multilane highways.
"Highway" in Canada means any long, straight road between two places that's been given the "highway" designator.
This ranges from 401, which is 6 lanes Detroit all the way out past Montreal and beyond (12 lanes in Toronto, with a separate 4-lane "express" toll-route highway) to things like Highway 15, which is two lanes, rural, and meanders it's way from Ottawa down through all the rural satellite towns to connect them to each other and to the real world.
That highway? That's smaller than most, but it's probably the road that goes to their farm. If you look closely, it *is* one lane in each direction.
