General Road and Highway Discussion

[Markster]

The ramp from 8 South* to 401 East was even more of a mess than usual, yesterday; overnight, crews moved the merge point even further back, creating chaos.

That's wonderful! It is all merging down to a single lane regardless, so it should force the merge early enough so that the traffic backlog quickly reaches an alternative exit, and people naturally re-route upon seeing congestion. As it was, the highway accumulated way too many captive cars.

Taking King St E instead, to avoid the on-ramp, seems like a better and better choice.

If you use Google GPS navigation, it will suggest that route quite often, as it knows it is faster as certain times.
