Following the awesome answers above I would also like to CanActivateChild: guarding child routes. It can be used to add guard to children routes helpful for cases like ACLs

It goes like this

src/app/auth-guard.service.ts (excerpt)

import { Injectable }       from '@angular/core';
import {
  CanActivate, Router,
  ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
  RouterStateSnapshot,
  CanActivateChild
}                           from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService }      from './auth.service';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate, CanActivateChild {
  constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router:     Router) {}

  canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state:    RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    let url: string = state.url;
    return this.checkLogin(url);
  }

  canActivateChild(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state:  RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {
    return this.canActivate(route, state);
  }

/* . . . */
}

src/app/admin/admin-routing.module.ts (excerpt)

const adminRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'admin',
    component: AdminComponent,
    canActivate: [AuthGuard],
    children: [
      {
        path: '',
        canActivateChild: [AuthGuard],
        children: [
          { path: 'crises', component: ManageCrisesComponent },
          { path: 'heroes', component: ManageHeroesComponent },
          { path: '', component: AdminDashboardComponent }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forChild(adminRoutes)
  ],
  exports: [
    RouterModule
  ]
})
export class AdminRoutingModule {}
