QUICK! ADD MORE LANES!
They are. Theyre also building another highway to relieve traffic from it. No it won't work. Yes theyre doing it anyway. I hate it here

Sow roads, reap traffic
Don't worry, when they put the 401 in a tunnel, traffic will be solved
So i looked this up and apparently Freeway 401 has up to twenty lanes at the widest sections, how tf do you even drive on something like that, this must cause a traffic jam every time somebody wants to get to an off-ramp.
On average there's 6-8 lanes in each direction, so 12-16 in total. Those 6-8 lanes are split into two roadways, one for local traffic and one for express traffic. At some interchanges you can switch between the local and express roadways and at those points a few extra lanes for the ramps are where the 20-lane figure comes from.
Oh ok only 12-16 lanes
Well there's your problem
always found it amusing that the busiest highway in north america is not in the us, but canada instead
Toronto leads the world in traffic as well. More than even L.A. And yet people here still go on and on about the War on Cars anytime someone suggests bike or train infrastructure
Highway 401 runs through Toronto. Toronto's line 1 subway also carries more people than the 401.
Keep seething, you little car cucks!
They're capacity-mogging our highways ;_;
Thanks Robert Moses.
243M journeys in the Elizabeth line btw. More than most countries' populations. Mind boggling
