Reply Quebeckers call these things "Routes", so in Quebec usage these are ROUTES. It doesn't matter what the rest of Canada calls their highways, because that's what they call *THEIR* highways. What Quebec english speakers call their highways is what the articles should be named. This is why the category Physicians for the UK is different than that for the US.

"Route" is a common American identification. It probably is used somewhat in Canada, however, in most provinces, it is far more common to use "Highway".
What do English-speaking Quebeckers use? What do French-speaking Quebeckers used? Perhaps it would be good to get a handle on this, then, before the articles on Quebec highways proliferate, adopt that standard for the province.
"Autoroute" is the unquestioned standard for the four-lane divided highways that are known as freeways outside the province.
