Route 90 I hear all the time.

I don't think there is another city in N. America that uses this city route system, is there? It's very unique.

Ottawa does, similar to the Ontario county road system. It is probably because Ottawa is both a city and a county, and has a large rural territory.

Blair Road is Ottawa Road 29.

Eagleson Road is Ottawa Road 49.

Montreal Road is Ottawa Road 34.

Walkley Road is Ottawa Road 74.

Hunt Club is Ottawa Road 32.

And of course the Queensway from the split to Orleans and Cumberland is Ottawa Road 174. This last one is the only one that is used in everyday speech.
