General Highway Talk / Re: Canadian MUTCD???

I know the Québec equivalent (Tome V) exists, but it's hundreds of dollars, unless you, uh, sail the seven seas.

With that said, I can't say I ever heard of a Canadian MUTCD, mostly because provinces do their own thing even though they are relatively similar most of the time.

Canada / Re: Ontario's Highways

A map showing the 110 km/h sections.

[imaged redacted]

Interesting that they're giving 110 to the 406.  That's honestly a shock to me.  Assuming that's between Exits 11 & East Main St roundabout?

Meanwhile, I find it curious that the Kingston-ON 16 section of ON 401 was omitted.  That, 401 west of Toronto, most of the rest of 400, and 407 strike me as the major "missing links" for 110 kph.

Now if only Québec would get on board...

I do have some theories for why:

THe Kingston-ON 16 section goes through the Canadian Shield and thus has relatively more curves than the section east of ON-16, so maybe that's why

West of Toronto, the section between London and Mississauga is probably because of its high AADT - it's always busy between that stretch.

West of London to Tilbury, that section is probably omitted due to the relatively narrow median between the carriageways. The narrow median has always posed a problem with vehicles colliding head-on, and it is the reason why the government has been widening the Windsor-London section of the 401 to 6 lanes despite it having a lower AADT than the 401 between Toronto to the Quebec border.

As for the 407, I feel like they omitted any urban section of freeway.

General Highway Talk / Canadian MUTCD???

I think our friends from north of the border would know the answer to this, but is there an online/PDF version of their MUTCD, similar to the American one? I've Googled it and found nothing so far.

It certainly won't be easy trying to squeeze in a ramp after the diamond interchange with Beale Street.

AZ DOT will probably have to modify the Beale Street on/off ramps so they can be braided with the two future ramps for I-11.

These aren't "lonelyhearts" scams. They're pornbots.

I assumed they were gathering info on people's profiles so they can duplicate them (what actually happens when people on Facebook claim they've been "hacked").

And surely the only difference between the two seasons is the QB, right?

It pretty much was yes. They had Jayden Reed at WR in '23, but lost Alan Lazard from '22. But by and large the main contributors on offense and on the OL were all the same.

Rodgers drop off from '21 to '22 was significant, and statistically worse across the board than Love in '23.
