Trail, as it moves away from central Edmonton. At the Edmonton – St. Albert boundary the road was known as ''St. Albert Road'' until early 2009 when St. Albert City Council approved a name change from ''St. Albert Road'' to ''St. Albert Trail''.
St. Albert Trail keeps this designation throughout that city, before exiting the city boundaries to the north where it becomes a divided highway as far north as

111 Avenue & 127 Street, and a two way from 112 Avenue to 117 Avenue.
