While this is true, these widths include wide medians and tons of empty space on either side (there does need to be some space for a clear zone but those are literally half the ROW in some of your examples). Also don't forget the transitway is an extra 60m on top of what you are showing. A...

Anyone else think the ROW is a little big (170m!)? Even with a 70m ROW they should still be able to fit 6+2 transit lanes just fine with room to spare.

The QEW is really the only 400 series that doesn't predominantly travel in one cardinal direction (Edit: there's the 115 on a diagonal but it still travels in one straight line). If the 413 is built, it will be interesting to see which direction it is signed. Maybe it will be done like Calgary's...

There's a good reason why those highways appear on those signs- because that's literally the only thing they serve west of Montreal. Nothing significant on either 20 or 40 until the 401/417. The reason 20 is on that sign is because that short section of the 30 is essentially just a giant off...

Don't forget the BBJNAS (Burlington Bay James N. Allan Skyway)

I think it should be kept as a "bypass", not so much of a local highway. The 412 and 418 both only have one full interchange between the 401 and 407.

Theoretically if Ontario had the Autoroute numbering scheme it would probably be: 417- 40 402- ? (This is a strange one because of it's relative position to other hwys) 401- 20 115- 45 403- 10 416- 75 418- 720 412- 520 404- 55 400- 45 427- 35 410- 25 407- Oakville section- 310, Peel York Durham...

I never saw the value in the 69>400>12>7 route simply because each of the highways it followed were major provincial highways on their own as it is and just designating a chunk of them as part of a route around the country never made sense especially since they are not even the most logical way...

I'm surprised they didn't announce a 400 series number yet. I would think 488 or 489.

Part of the problem is when speeds are lowered and the road geometry stays the same. If a road is posted at 30, it should be designed for you to go 30, not just a road which lets you easily go 50 with signs slapped up. Recently I've seen some wider suburban res streets in Toronto that have "30...

I think the 400 from the split up should definitely be 110. Maybe once they finish the first trial. 407E/412/418 could also use it.

And also there's no way boring a tunnel is worth it. Expropriate some low density industrial instead, even elevated could be an option. An LRT along Jane has been something talked about for ages, and something like this could actually work really well for the area if it reached up to Major Mack...

Ultimately I fail to see how an ultra frequent VIVA blue or even making it into an LRT wouldn't accomplish the same thing and as extending line 1 past Major Mack. If you are going to force people to make a linear transfer somewhere, might as well do it at the point the density starts to taper...

The density justification for subways just isn't high enough in a lot of the suburbs. York Region already has the underserved VIVA system, which could use more frequent service (at least every 10 minutes all day). Even upgrading a few hourly services to every 30 minutes or less can make a huge...

The potential for these "smart lights" are huge if done right. Not only for reducing congestion but also for safety, as dangerous unprotected left turns can have their own "smart" phase. Could be great for pedestrians too, as it could be possible for more than one direction having the walk phase...

"Line 1, to High Tech via International Space Station"

In that case, its probably going to be elevated 50m instead of buried 50m by the end of this

A much better expansion would be to buy out the properties facing 10, upgrade it to a 400 series highway ending at 109, as well with a small bypass around the village and Victoria. All they really need to do is pave the shoulders and add a tall wall down the middle. The biggest upgrades would be...

The bigger issue is if they waste money on overbuilt stations (I'm talking about you TYSSE)... (Cummer), Clark, and Royal Orchard should be about as basic as they can make it without a huge above ground presence. Steeles and Bridge/High Tech stations should be a little more significant seeing...
