Hello all, Just picked up a Mapart 2010 Ontario Atlas while getting gas for 99 cents a litre (ouch)! Quite a few updates compared to last years. More Blue...
Here is something you don't see every day ;) News: Mystery sign maker literally stops traffic By David Menzies Talk about taking the law into your own hands....
The new Hwy 6 interchange with York Rd has been open for a while. It seems to get the job done. You get one exit sign on either side via partial gantries, with...
It will be interesting to see what the MTO has planned for Clappison Corners in the coming years in regards to a freeway. At least they have gotten this part...
This raises the question of how municipalities should deal with traffic in neighbourhoods. The City of London has been using speed "humps" on some primary and...
Mexico City doesn't have snow removal to deal with. And traffic calming is overrated, I deal with it for my work, and I don't agree with the majority of it....
... Hamilton's north end neighbourhood plan called for putting in a ton of speed humps and dead ends and 30 km/h zones. I don't think it's happened yet, much...
I used to have to drive delivery vehicles through calming zones in Toronto, that was nooooooo fun. I imagine, must be even better with a bus... Sent on the...
Almost all bus routes in Toronto operate over roads without speed control (as long as you exclude roads falling apart). There have been exceptions, but these...
... The small sideroads in Toronto's core areas often have speed bumps, but you wouldn't want to drive faster than 30 to 40 km/h on them anyway, since they are...
... 406 at a roundabout at Main St is more of a novelty than anything that's really useful. I think the province should have kept the former 406 alignment that...
... How ironic. Believe it or not, the original plan for Highway 406 back in the 1960s was this: south of Beaverdams Road, the highway was to sweep west and ...
Yeah I figure the best bet is to let the 406 assume Highway 140 down to Highway 3. Instead of it curving to the west then back down to the south via 58, let...
... At least that one is ready to go, as is the conversion of part of the Hanlon to a full freeway. Still, I laugh at some early DHO/MTO proposals from the...
... Well, I would actually like to see a 4 lane divided highway in the 17 corridor from Ottawa to Sault St. Marie. ROW should be acquired for interchanges,...
... This was announced sometime last year, but it's good to see the contract being issued. Supposedly the next phase should go ahead immediately after, in...
... Work started on twinning the Arnprior bypass some months ago. The trees along the route of the new carriageway from the end of 417 to the Madawaska River...
It's amazing what I miss when I don't live in the area. Years and years of neglect and defered projects, and NOw they finally get there a$$e$ in gear. Great...
Highway 401 between Ajax and Whitby to be widened June 30, 2009 By Reka Szekely http://newsdurhamregion.com/news/ajax/article/129766 AJAX -- The Province is...
Very Nice Find...Nice to the E/C system well into Durham when this project gets finished. Too bad they will have a hell of a time getting through the 'Shwa if...
... It is in the same area. It would be a combined interchange (basically a diamond within a semi-directional T) as far as I know. If this is to go ahead at...
... Yeah, widening will necessitate some pricey expropriation. One option might be to build a two level E/C system. Cut for the Express and cover with the...
