All the others have some story, some haphazard and some logical. Highway 2 is the oldest highway and was therefore originally Highway 1, and Highway 1 was Highway 2, but they were swapped when they wanted to make a unified Highway 1 across western Canada for the TCH. Some others, and a bunch of the secondaries, look like they're roughly numbered in sequence by geography.
