This is in a city of 175,000 people. And in a “liberal”, West Coast, US city. You really can’t get away from this stuff in North America.
The 401 is 18 lanes total in one section going through Toronto. 4 express lanes and 5 regular, add in more lanes when they exit and enter.
It is a ridiculous highway because all of that and it is still a fucking parking lot every day.
One train running past every 5 minutes would change a lot of people to transit instead of sitting in their cars.
It wouldn't, unfortunately. My city got Amtrak service back a few years ago, and sooo many people I've talked to are like "I'm never taking a train again!" because they caught a delay ONE TIME, even though they don't bat an eye sitting still daily on the interstate.
At least Toronto has 3 million people. This is a city that routinely holds 1/3 of its population in its own football stadium.
If that counts as 8 lanes in the same direction, does this count as 10? Gov Alfred E. Driscoll Brg https://maps.app.goo.gl/BgwtjaQtns2EMf6g7
On the Garden State Parkway in NJ it's one of the widest bridges in the world.

This community exists for the following reasons:
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
