Ontario expects GTA traffic to get so bad that highways will crawl below 20 km/h

Surely, building highways in the middle of nowhere and expanding highway 401 to 20 lanes will fix things.

Massive GO rail upgrades and tolls could quickly counter this but they've decided to go all in on another useless highway that will likely be sold for pennies on the dollar.

Because wE nEeD mOrE lAnEs!

It's amazing how Torontonians don't want more bike lanes "because they cause traffic", yet traffic is only a problem where you don't have bikes, pedestrians, and public transportation.

Just one more lane, bro: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/one-more-lane-bro-one-more-lane-will-fix-it

Wish we would stop adding lanes already. The 401 is a complete mess as it is already in design and interchanges.

Get all trucks to stay in the right lane, and make highway layouts more efficient by not having that right lane disappear into a offramp. Also remove trucks off the express sections altogether. Resever the express to light vehicles. Add surcharges to delivery and trucking companies exceeding certain vehicle sizes. Add surcharge zones for car traffic in downtown neighbourhoohs.

Stop expanding suburbs and instead add density to cities and towns. Add alternative transportation such as trains, subways, trams, buses, cycaling infrastructure, pedestrian sidewalls and trails. Convert office spaces to lofts and apartments, allow low rise 4-5 story mixed use developments on existing parcels with point access stairwells.

Add reasons for families to stay in cities, make it affordable compared to a suburban single family home so they can live where they may work as opposed to comuting into the city by car.
