There's no way, for a number of practical reasons that this could actually work.

They're going to have to cheat and use more realistic velocity numbers.


(.027mph = 2.376ipm, this is well beyond the resolution of GPS)

Used to drive in Houston traffic and spent 3 hours in the car a day for like 20 miles. That stuff will kill you.

in the old SC GTO I would pick up folks at park and rides so I could use the car pool lane. It was hilarious to hear some of their reactions. Got chased down by FBI and ATF agents twice (but they have no traffic enforcement authority). One of the few folks to do 120+ in the car pool lanes. lol, funny to think about. Once some of the regular rides got an idea of what was going on they'd cut in line and rush the car. There's probably the whole series of "Tales from the Park and Ride" still floating around out there on the GTO site somewhere. Then there was the guy in a turbo diesel truck that worked for like three weeks to catch it at just the right time so we could line up at the light in to down town. I didn't know he was going to launch like we were at the drag strip but although he treed me we had him before the next light.

But before all that concrete was finished, it was the 1.5 hour slog each way, and it was just life sapping. (hence the MB S500 too, might as well drive a living room if you have to sit for ever)

You hanging around Young street ?
No traffic down at this end (y)
Just asshole drivers :mad:
I m assuming all the congestion is in TO or the never ending repaving of the 400 highways causing delays
There are wider highways but the 400 series can get effin packed
They say it takes 1 hour to get from Toronto to Toronto LOL

For visiting Brits who are used to 3 lanes the 401 into Toronto is quite an experience at rush hour when you've no idea where you are going :LOL:

I can recommend the veggie hot dogs off a stand.

I lived in Houston with my brother one summer while in college. Had to drive out Westheimer to the restaurant where I was a cook at 5pm every day. Total parking lot. I had a TR6 with no a/c. I would get to work soaking wet with sweat and "cool off" in the kitchen. Joy!

Shit you had to go right thru the mess
TO is a shit show
I am a country boy that likes open spaces free of idiots & have no patients crowds of any kind

What brings you down to lake Erie ?
You live in a beautiful area

You could have went South west for 3 hours & had some beers in A burg

I don't think that looks all that bad. My old stomping ground, the Katy Freeway.This part is not that bad (or wide), but if you count the surface streets (which TxDOT considers to be part of the freeway design as collectors) and the HOV lanes, you're looking at 24 lanes.

Stay away from Portland then...nothing but stupid assholes. I cringe every time I have to go there. For me the key is go alone, and take the R1, not a car. I spent many years in LA/Torrance traffic, and soon learned that a motorbike would cut my commute times significantly.
