The Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) crosses Newfoundland west to east from Port aux Basques to St. John's, a distance of 905 kilometres (543 miles). Secondary highways along the route provide many fascinating, "off-the-beaten-track" side trips.

The Department of Works, Services and Transportation has installed digital cameras at five weigh scale sites along the Trans Canada Highway, in an effort to provide the motoring public with the most up-to-date road and driving conditions.
