Driving

The traffic is amazing - how it changes in different places.

I’m from Cuba and there I think we don’t have to worry about if you are going to be late because of the traffic. When I came here to Canada almost four years ago that was one of the most things that impressed me. Here when I was on the Highway 401 and I saw all the cars, I was amazed. It is one of the biggest in the world than I mean, there is traffic every moment.

Since I started to drive here around 3 and half years already the only days that I haven’t seen much traffic is in holidays. Another problem that increases the traffic in Toronto is the car accidents. We have lots of accidents happening every day and that increases the traffic, because the police, ambulance and firefighters close sometimes two lines and when that happen you have to wait sometimes more than one hour because of the traffic, but we have good news. On June 1 the Premier of Ontario said that the 407 to the east will be free. That will save money and time for the people. Many will use it, and hopefully that get better the traffic in Toronto.
