Toronto is a huge city, and the section of the 401 that has 18 lanes is right beside the airport and a huge industrial area. The airport disrupts the east-west local road network, and the local industry creates a huge amount of truck traffic. And, probably most notably, the congestion experienced on the 18 lane section is almost exclusively located in the eastbound collector lanes. The MTO could fix this pretty easily, but that would just add more traffic to the eastbound 401 beyond the 427 where the real congestion starts.
