In Alberta, the Queen Elizabeth II Highway follows part of Highway 2. Its distinctive purple shield, featuring the royal crown and a rose, appears on a standalone reassurance marker before the provincial highway marker:

The purple Queen Elizabeth II Highway marker followed by the Highway 2 marker on the left side of the roadway.

However, some maps, such as the Travel Alberta map produced by the City of Edmonton, combine the two shields, similar to how Alberta superimposes numbers on the Trans-Canada Highway shield and other named highway shields:

Purple numeral 2 on a white silhouette of a crown upon a purple rectangle.

Apple Maps treats it as a standard concurrency but incorrectly applies it to the entirety of Highway 2. I created a pair of route relations representing just the portion signposted as the QEII.

This SVG reproduces the shield. It’s presumably under copyright, so we can’t use it directly, but we should be able to use a simplification, similar to what we did with the King’s Highway in Ontario.
