It was perhaps the emptiest the 401 in Toronto has ever been. Even emptier than during the first Covid shutdowns in late March 2020 - I drove through Toronto on the 401 in the early evening on March 19, 2020 and there were still some vehicles, though it was like a Sunday morning at 6pm on a Thursday.
I remember driving in the 401 at 5pm on a weekday in the first week of April 2020 and flying along at 115-120. Crazy really looking back.
It eventually got busier again of course, but traffic stayed noticeably lighter in the GTA for probably 2 years after before really returning to normal.
So while in BC this summer I took some shots of what I consider to be the most impressive segment of highway in Western Canada, the Cape Horn Interchange and Port Mann Bridge.
My eyes! Those wretched pseudo Chrysler building condos. Awwghgh! My eyes!!

I recall the morning of the Gold Medal Olympic hockey game in Sochi 2014- 401 was empty (as were other roads). That was maybe the quietest it has ever been other than being closed for one reason or another.
Stereotypical Canadian logic.

Nothing worse than being stuck on the far left lane of the "Express" lanes configuration, during one of the usual 401 traffic jams, and having one of your kids needing to "go to the bathroom very badly, Dad!!"
