Prince Edward Island Route 158


Route 158, officially named Harper Road, and sometimes referred to sectionally as Leoville Road , is a 2-lane collector highway in western Prince County, Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is located 0–4 miles SW of the community of Tignish. Its maximum speed limit is.
The highway runs from Route 156 to Route 2, the Veteran's Memorial Highway, passing through the communities of Tignish, Harper, Leoville, and Palmer Road.
The highway is grossly considered as part of the Tignish district, though some may consider southern portions of the highway to be part of the St. Louis–Miminegash region.

Naming issues

Though the entire highway runs straight from Route 156 to Route 2 without any interruptions, the highway is sometimes considered by local residents to be two "separate roads" because of traditional naming and zoning. Since the highway contains the two separate communities of Harper and Leoville, but is entirely officially known as Harper Road, some locals avoid naming the Leoville portion of the highway as being on "Harper Road" because Leoville is seen as distinct from Harper. Some will thus sometimes label the Leoville portion of Route 158 as Leoville Road.
