That forecast is bizarre. How do you go from +10 to -15 in a matter of hours?

You have to have a wicked sense of humour to be a traffic planner.

My brother is one and everytime I curse a set of lights I know he is laughing at me.

Think I'm justifing getting a transponder and paying the $5 each way to use the 407 instead....I always begrudge paying to use roads (I refused to use the M6 toll road!)ing reading all the comments....even the one about the fly sex!! :thumbsup:

If its a road that hasnt been noted already for requiring works the city can ask residents to pay if they want them .
Same as they can ask developers to pay to install stay a pelican crossing by a school if the developers want to build a big project that will increase traffic.

After just landing a new job in my chosen field, which starts next week, my commute time/distance will be roughly 45mins/40ish km with 'moving traffic' and likely using the 407. If I use the QEW/403 it'll definately be longer time wise, and about 50km.:ohmy:

So I wondered, how far do you all travel to get to work?:confused:

Sometimes I think I'm mad for taking on a job in Mississauga considering the congestion, but my plan was to get a good job here, and I think I just found it, so if it all works out I'll eventually move closer to reduce the travel time.

:D
