The divided lanes vary depending on location.

This is one of the main east west streets in Toronto.

I thought traffic was bad in the D.C. area. But, since the late 90's traffic in Toronto is worse.....and that's not including the Friday afternoon mayhem getting out of TO.

He had a pretty big influence on the municipal approach to bikes in the 70s and 80s, and deserves at least some share of the blame for where we are today.

I look out at Hwy 400 from my office, cottage traffic used to start at 4PM, it now starts at 10 am.
