Designation as a provincial route does not necessarily imply that a road is maintained by the road authority in the provincial government; some parts of the provincial route network are maintained by the National Roads Agency, and parts in towns may be ordinary streets maintained by the municipal roads departments. Provincial routes vary in quality from gravel roads to freeways.
