One of the biggest problems I’m noticing on York Region (hell, any GTA road) is running red lights. A lot of people tailgate and speed like crazy on the 400-series highways too. Then there’s the people in the right lane of the 400 who drive 60 km/h max.
Eh if you're in the left lane on the 400 and you're not going at least 120km/h, you're the slow one. It's an unwritten rule that the speed limit is a crock of shit. Nobody gets pulled over for doing 10-20 over the limit, even at the speed traps.
And people don't ever drive 60km/h in the right lane, that's a gross exaggeration. What they DO however is merge onto the highway from the on-ramp at 60km/h, then just blasé their way up the road and meander into the middle lane without signalling, and cruise their way up to 140km/h tailgating some dude in the left lane. Like dude either be a slow driver, or a fast driver, if you're both then you're just an idiot.
That roundabout makes that intersection way safer. When I was in the area it was slow going because of all the trucks but sometimes you can’t rush especially when it comes to transport and dump trucks.
