Change 407 speed limit to no speed limit
Change 407 speed limit to no speed limit
The Issue
We need to pay to go on the 407 so we might aswell be able to go as fast as we want.
keep in mind the highway is very wide at most parts therefore the left lanes can be no speed limit and be there for passing.
im just saying we can totally make this happen.
How could this work? A question most would ask, well to anyone questioning my thinking take a look at Germany...
Despite the speeds, the nearly 13,000-kilometre-long Autobahn and surrounding German highways see fewer fatalities than our roads here in Canada. According to data compiled by the WHO, Germany has 4.3 car-related deaths per 100,000 people, compared to six per 100,000 in Canada.
What is the 407?
King's Highway 407 (pronounced "four-oh-seven") is a tolled 400-series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. Comprising a privately leased segment as well as a publicly owned segment, the route spans the entire Greater Toronto Area (GTA) around the city of Toronto, travelling through the suburbs of Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa before ending in Clarington, north of Orono. At 151.4 km long, this is the fourth longest freeway in Ontario's 400 series network, after Highways 417, 400, and 401. The segment between Burlington and Brougham in Pickering is leased to and operated by the 407 ETR Concession Company Limited and is officially known as the 407 Express Toll Route (407 ETR). It begins at the junction of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and Highway 403 in Burlington, and travels 108.0 km (67.1 mi) across the GTA to Brock Road in Pickering. East of Brock Road, the tollway continues east as Highway 407(referred to as Highway 407 East during development to distinguish it from the 407 ETR), a toll route operated by the provincial government, for 43.4 km (27.0 mi) to Highway 35/115 in Clarington. The route interchanges with nine freeways: the QEW, Highway 403, Highway 401, Highway 410, Highway 427, Highway 400, Highway 404, Highway 412, and Highway 418. Highway 407 is an electronically operated toll highway; there are no toll booths along the length of the route. Distances are calculated automatically using transponders or licence plates, which are scanned at entrance and exit points.
Some people may say, why take the risk?
I would say, what risk are you talking about?
We have the statistics that show going faster is safer so why not do it.
