- Well, now I've read everything ....
-
- The 401 is designed for high volume traffic going at high speeds. It
- can easily carry hundreds or thousands of vehicles per hour at 120kmh
- without posing any significant risk to the motorists. It does this
- every day.
-
- But even one cyclist riding on a sidewalk with equivalent levels of
- pedestrian traffic is an extremely dangerous situation. A bad accident
- is inevitable.
