How many segments can you drive in a day?

Depending on how long you want to drive each day, which can be influenced, how much site-seeing you are doing, if you are driving with kids, or the weather and quality of roads, or the hours of sunlight at different times of the year.

For example, if driving across the Prairies, you can drive further (and see more) in summer driving with 12-14 hours of daylight, than in winters driving during just 6 hours of daylight. And in the winter, also allow for slower driving during poor visibility in snowstorms, or driving stopped for mountain avalanche control  (watch our homepage or our Facebook page for weather bulletins). Of course, in summer there may be delays or detours because of construction.

The itineraries listed here are from 150 km to 250 km (taking approximately 2 hours of driving time).

You can choose 1-4 segments per driving day to suit your preferred pace. The itineraries are designed like bus schedules, with both eastbound and westbound distances on the same page,
so you only need one set to the trip there and back.

Some Frequently Asked Questions about the Trans Canada Highway:

Where does Trans Canada Highway start and end?

The highway extends west-east between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts across the breadth of Canada  for 7,821 km (4,860 miles), between Victoria (on Vancouver Island in  British Columbia) and St. John’s ( in Newfoundland and Labrador). See full details of the itinerary on this Itineraries page.

How long does it take to drive the Trans Canada Highway?

This route covers 7,821 km (4,860 miles) and would take at least 100 hours of pure driving time, including stops for refiling your gasoline, but not including ferries and ferry wait times. (In the west, you might have a 1 or 2 hour ferry ride to Vancouver Island and and up to 3 hour wait, and in the Maritimes, you might have a 5 to 10 hour ferry ride to Newfoundland with an up to 12 hour wait). If you add overnight stops and do some sightseeing,  and drive an average of 400 km (250 miles) on per day, the drive across Canada will take about 3 weeks.

Is the 401 part of the Trans Canada Highway?

Highway 401 extends for 828 kilometres (514 mi) from Windsor (connecting to Detroit, Michigan) in the west to the Ontario–Quebec border in the east (connecting to Montreal, Quebec) and runs through Toronto, Ontario.  The 401 is also known as the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, but is NOT PART of the Trans Canada Highway.  The TransCanadaHighway.com web site features a “detour” from the TransCanada Main Route to Toronto.
The Southern Route through Ontario extends from Ottawa via Highway 7 west to Peterborough, northwest via Highway 11 through Orillia, and then north on Highway 400 though Parry Sound to Sudbury. This southern route at Peterborough is 100 km from Toronto’s municipal boundary and 140 km from its downtown center.
