And that's just rush hour. Here in Toronto, we've seen the problems on the Don Valley and on the Gardner. But what is more surprising is the gridlock they're seeing in the larger GTA and in places like Hamilton-Wentworth. Traffic in goods is also increasing. A lot more truck traffic on GTA highways.
Many people think that's a nuisance.
But it's more than that. It's certainly very expensive. That's a lot of money. Traffic congestion also boosts fuel consumption and increases pollution. It means more accidents.
