Symons Valley Road is a major arterial road and rural highway that links Calgary from Stoney Trail (Highway 201) to Madden in Alberta, Canada. It is preceded by Beddington Trail, a major expressway along West Nose Creek linking Deerfoot Trail to Stoney Trail within Calgary, and is succeeded by Range Road 30. The portion of Symons Valley Road within Rocky View County from the Calgary city limit to Highway 574 south of Madden is designated as Alberta Provincial Highway No. 772.
Beddington Trail, which precedes Symons Valley Road, travels in a northwest direction from Deerfoot Trail forming the boundary between the communities of Beddington Heights and Sandstone Valley to the southwest and Aurora Business Park and Country Hills to the northeast. Prior to intersecting with Stoney Trail and continuing as Symons Valley Road, Beddington Trail bisects the community of Hidden Valley.
Within Calgary, Symons Valley Road from Stoney Trail to the city limit, just south of Township Road 261, forms the boundary between the communities of Kincora and Evanston before bisecting the community of Sage Hill. Upon leaving the City of Calgary, the roadway is designated as Highway 772 to its intersection with Highway 574, 1.8 km (1.1 mi) south of Madden. [1] [2] After this intersection, Highway 772 becomes Highway 574 for 2.0 km (1.2 mi) to the north end of Madden, at which point Highway 574 turns east towards Crossfield. [1] [3] In addition to being a numbered highway, Rocky View County has named the entirety of Highway 772, as well as the following 2.0 km (1.2 mi) of Highway 574, as Symons Valley Road. [4] Symons Valley Road is signed as Highway 772 from 144 Avenue, but does not officially start until just south of Township Road 261. [5]

Deerfoot Trail is a 46.4-kilometre (28.8 mi) freeway segment of Highway 2 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It stretches the entire length of the city from south to north and links suburbs to downtown via Memorial Drive and 17 Avenue SE. The freeway begins south of Calgary where it splits from Macleod Trail, crosses the Bow River into city limits, and reaches the Stoney Trail ring road. Crisscrossing twice more with the river, it intersects Glenmore Trail and Memorial Drive; the former is a major east–west expressway while the latter is a freeway spur into downtown. In north Calgary, it crosses Highway 1 and passes Calgary International Airport before ending at a second interchange with Stoney Trail. Highway 2 becomes the Queen Elizabeth II Highway as it continues north into Rocky View County towards Red Deer and Edmonton.
Highway 2A is the designation of six alternate routes off Highway 2 in Alberta, Canada. In general, these are original sections of Highway 2, such as the southern portion of Macleod Trail in Calgary. They passed through communities before limited-access freeways were built to shorten driving distance, accommodate heavier volumes and to bypass city traffic. Portions of the alignment of Highway 2A follow the route of the former Calgary and Edmonton Trail.
Highway 201, better known by its official names of Stoney Trail and Tsuut'ina Trail, is a 101-kilometre (63 mi) freeway that encircles Calgary, Alberta.

At its busiest point near Beddington Trail in north Calgary, the six-lane freeway carried nearly 70,000 vehicles per day in 2023, and forms part of the CANAMEX Corridor which connects Calgary to Edmonton and Interstate 15 in the United States via Highways 2, 3, and 4.
Highway 22X is a highway in and around Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta, extending 54 kilometres (34 mi) to the east from Highway 22.

Highway 22, officially named Cowboy Trail, is a 584-kilometre (363 mi) highway in the Canadian province of Alberta. It generally parallels Highway 2, beginning in the foothills of southern Alberta at Highway 3 near Lundbreck Falls.

Highway 1 is designated as a core route in Canada's National Highway System and is a core part of the developing Alberta Freeway Network.
Highway 1A is the designation of two alternate routes off the Alberta portion of Trans-Canada Highway 1. However, it is not the only name used for spurs off Highway 1 - Highway 1X is another such designation.
