Anything on the supposed PR 636 in Churchill (isolated from the rest of the highway network, so it wouldn't appear in any files for other routes)? It wouldn't surprise me if that non-standard route signage on the airport road was contrived by locals, to impress the royals when they visited Churchill, rather than proof that it's part of the provincial road network.

[yakra]

All I know right now is, there's no "636" value in the RTNUMBER1 field anywhere in the (Edit: GeoBase NRN) shapefiles.
I'll look into it some more.

[yakra]

I am satisfied that MB636 exists.

  (Enter "PR 636" (with quotes) in the Filter items box.)

  ("Launch Road" specifically may be the locals being imprecise? If OSM has the Kelsey Blvd / Launch Rd changeover right, Launch Rd looks a bit suspect, per the highway map...)
And finally, the Official Highway Map, maps # 10 and 11 clearly show a 2 Lane, Paved Provincial Road.
Resolution is low, though; pinning down the endpoints may be difficult. (Or not -- see below...)
Looks like a relatively new designation (you were there in August 2013?), a bit new to be showing up in the GeoBase NRN shapefiles yet. They seem a bit slow to get updated; for example the latest revision has yet to catch up with a section of MB236 being decommissioned.
OK, I found some LRS -Road Network shapefiles from Manitoba Land Initiative. And there's a road shown in Churchill... DESCRIPTIO = "Bernier St to Old Airport Terminal Rd (Churchill)", ROAD_IDENT = "Access Road" rather than "Provincial Road", but nonetheless I bet this is it. East end roughly here.

I went, in August 2013, on a polar bear viewing tour east of Churchill (alas, I didn't see any bears, it wasn't high season for them). I think we went east of the airport, so I probably clinched PR 636 on the tour's shuttle bus to the "tundra buggies" taking us into bear habitat.

That is, unless PR 636 also extends west of downtown Churchill (I saw no route signs in that direction). I walked a short distance west of town toward the port and its grain elevators, but couldn't cover much ground before I had to catch the train back to Thompson.

BTW, the rail line to Churchill is now closed indefinitely due to extensive trackbed damage. Until that's fixed, visitors to Churchill will need to get there by air.

[yakra]

Out of curiosity, do you remember where you say the 636 shield? Churchill has GMSV, dated Oct 2013, after your visit, but I haven't found it yet.
From what I can make out, the east end is pretty close to the edge of what I'd call downtown.

You've probably got all of that?

[oscar]

GMSV shows the 80kmh speed limit/PR 636 sign assembly I photographed, about 0.33 mi. SE of JamAve:

Sign http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=58.763655&lon=-94.157810

It's easy to miss except at high zoom levels, as whatever vehicle GMSV was using didn't take photos at the usual frequency, and the set closest to the sign is right alongside it so you need to use the next set to the northwest.

I did cover the entire route when I was in Churchill, on foot and/or in a shuttle bus.

[yakra]

Aah yes, there ya go. I checked near the east and west ends, but nothing quite that far out of town on this side.

[oscar]

Not to get too far ahead (canmbs is still being drafted), but Manitoba secondary route markers come in several flavors, not just the one in the photo yakra linked.

[yakra]

Got any links? They might just be old/outdated shield styles...
For example, follow the link above, and switch over to the May 2009 imagery.

[oscar]

The 2009 imagery you cite matches the style (bison centered on one line, Manitoba on a separate line) I've seen in various places, such as in this 2013 photo in Thompson of an End PR 391 sign at the north end of PTH 6, and a 2015 photo at the other end of PR 391 in Lynn Lake, as well as one near Minnedosa and another one there. For something that seems to be an even older style, see that second Minnedosa photo, as well as another 2015 photo in Lynn Lake.
