And therein lies the rub. The 401 and 403 (heck, even the QEW and most other major highways) were (and still are!) so congested that it was a deciding factor to moving away from Toronto.
The only other place that reminded me of my days in sitting endlessly in stop-and-go traffic on major highways in Toronto was LA, which is a different major North American city famous for its gridlock.
