looks like a hugely complex intervention for something which honestly probably provides not a dissimilar amount of capacity compared to an old-fashioned detour road.

Particularly when it seems to be suitable for only 'spot work' and low clearance machinery (no crane work). Given the nature of our drivers, the speed restriction would be impossible to enforce.

Just one more carriageway, bro

I always found it incredibly ironic a subway line at capacity is a good thing but a road moving 500,000 cars a day being at capacity was a bad thing.Just one more carriageway, bro

What is ironic about that? Public transportation has fewer negative externalities than automobiles. A more sustainable and space-efficient option that encourages more compact communities is better.

Because traffic slows travel, while a subway line always travels at the same speed?

The subway was out at rush hour 5 times in about a week, that's not the case on the 401

Can we just ban these memes from this thread? it's absolutely spammed with them and is not funny at all at this point. We get it. The same joke is plastered twice on one page.

Instead of pointless memes consider the traffic flow in the area? You're going from 5 lanes (including HOV) to 3 lanes with a lot of trucks causing congestion during the merges

Should build some truck only lanes and keep them there. Probably some for speed demons too. Signed use at your own risk!

I’d support more truck laws like the Germans have but the trucking lobby would block it

I counted at least 100 trucks/commercial vehicles in this picture. You can say induced demand all you want but this highway quite literally is the lifeline of southern Ontario.Just one more carriageway, bro

Transit operating at or above capacity does cause problems. Slower loading/unloading times, passengers left behind at downstream stations, unsafe in the event of an emergency. See Bloor-Yonge station, and this is why alternative routes (DRL/OL) have long been proposed.
