Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[SammyOES]

I've always wondered if it and Hwy 6 between the 401 and 403 could be given the Hwy 11 treatment.  Between Barrie and Orillia Hwy 11 had a center median erected, with bridges and ramps every few kilometers to allow for turn backs.  This completely eliminated left turns and up'd the safety of the highway tremendously, speeding it up without having to build an entirely new highway that would steal traffic away from the existing businesses which lined it.  I think it was a brilliant solution that should be used more often.

I don't have a lot of experience with these types of highways, but when driving through they've always seemed kind of dangerous to me. People treat them like controlled access highways but they're not and so you have really fast traffic but also lots of people pulling out w/o getting up to speed. Like I said though, that's not based on data.
