East of Kingston, and especially east of the 416, traffic counts are nowhere near enough to justify 6 laning.
A case could be made for 6 laning between Cobourg and Kingston in the medium term (say, gradually do it bit by bit with completion planned in 20-ish years), but even then, that's a bit much.
Given how expensive that would be, I'd like to see what could be done with transit alternatives like railway improvements first, before committing billions to rural widenings.
