the crazy part to me is always that MTO opened the 401 through Toronto as a rural 4-lane bypass and basically a decade later rebuilt it as a 12-lane collector-express system, more or less the existing configuration of the highway. They were *Way* off on the estimated traffic demand on the original 4-lane highway given such a drastic upgrade so shortly after.
Car ownership post war completely exploded though, I think it would have been hard to predict that level of ownership growth.
