How this might affect you
If you drive, you will be able to use the new T2/Heavy Vehicle lanes if you are carpooling with at least one other person. Otherwise, you will need to stay in the existing general traffic lanes during peak hours. The proposed lanes would operate from 4 pm to 7 pm only.
If you work or live nearby, parking will continue to be available outside of the afternoon peak times. Some minor changes to parking and bus stop locations are proposed to improve safety and access.
How will these transit lanes save time?
Currently, vehicles are experiencing delays of up to 1.5 minutes during the afternoon and evening peak. Every minute saved through interventions like these count—delays at multiple intersections can quickly add up, and can impact the entire network.
For cars with two or more people and freight travelling north, this will help them reach the transit lane on the on-ramp faster as well.

What about traffic during the morning peak?
Our latest traffic heatmaps show us that congestion on these roads is mainly a problem in the afternoon and evening. However, there is an opportunity in our survey for you to tell us your experience with congestion outside of the afternoon/evening peak.
