When the two routes are of equal volume and traffic pattern, I have no problem with a left hand split, similar to Hwy 2 an Hwy 1 WB in NB, as lon as the lanes...
The is a very nasty fire in Halifax - Purcells/Ferguson/Herring Cove - about 12km long by a few km, burning hot, spreading VERY rapidly. You should see the...
In the same newscast as the devastating fire, a mapa of the Burnside Connector was shown, where it runs from the Forest Hills Parkway at the end of Akerley...
... I think you should write to Mr. Carter, as well as AT, and tell them you have observed as an actual user of their "innovative" design. BTW, I say this even...
... When two routes join and maintain both route numbers I could agree. The NB-1 / TCH-2 junction should have been designed with TCH-2 WB on the left. I...
... Yes, that's a particularly nasty one too. You get slow moving SB Gaetz Ave traffic trying to cut across mainline AB-2 traffic to get to the Gasoline Alley...
... An excellent idea. I've considered doing so every time I drive through there, shaking my head. I think it will be a very easy letter to write with all my...
... Starting in March 1994, I worked for a small (~20 person) traffic/modeling/design firm called Garmen (not "Garmin") Associates (I also worked for them...
... I work for a small local company here in Ontario. We have recently obtained several key staff members from AECOM from both the EarthTech acquisition and...
... Scott, there's (surprisingly) been no talk on here about the latest round of 407 east PICs. The most significant change is that the 407 is now just being...
... I am a little dissapointed that the 407 won't connect directly to the 115, but like you say I think there are some pretty good reasons for why this isn't...
... The 407 east website currently says something along the lines of "115 north to 35 will be examined in the future in a separate EA", but it seems to be...
... The Highway 35 interchange is very dumb. Everytime I drive through it I wonder how many people must find themselves on Wilcox Lane inadvertently. Scott...
... "Pretty good reasons" = "good enough" reasons? Not in my mind. ... Not sure what the Courtice connector is. I was hoping that 407 would be the mainline...
I was hoping that 407 would be the mainline and replace 115 as the route number to Peterborough. This would facilitate a seemless ON-407, possibly extending ...
I hope Stephane's idea would come to realization one day. Who knows. It does make sense to one day connect it to the 401. Where are you guys finding the...
I found this while reading up on the new Hwy 403 interchnage in Hamilton on www.thespec.com <http://www.thespec.com> about planned shrinkage being thought of...
I've always had an interest in transportation/highways/mapping/urban planning (hence being a member of these boards) but my career did not align with those...
... The Courtice connector is the East Durham connector - the route which roadgeeks have occasionally theorized would be numbered 435, as opposed to the West...
... Actually, a lot of jurisdictions ban billboards near freeways as they are considered a driver distraction, so I highly doubt that advertising on overpasses...
... The East Durham connector will provide a link east of the urban area through the greenbelt to the 401, so an extension in that direction probably isn't...
To be honest, my position on toll roads has softened over the past few years. I don't much like paying the toll rates on the 407, and often opt for the 401...
... I have come to the position that I would be OK with a provincially administered toll road. Something like 10 cents per kilometre, so $1 for every 10km you...
