Well in regards to the new highway locations. The selection being that of Jumping Caribou Lake Road gets my vote if only for one reason. Were one to do research on cross country marathons of most recent Caribou Legs comes to mind. Do a quick background check on that.

I have lost many loved ones on this stretch of highway. The combination of lack of shoulders, unprepared/ untrained transport drivers, weather conditions, wildlife…but you know what? it’s always about the amount of transports on this section of highway between north bay and temiskaming shores….

We currently purchased property and reside in Temagami. After selling our place in New liskeard, we are travelling the corridor north and southbound between New liskeard and Temagami and North Bay regularly.

This is a great idea. It's impossible to pass (without passing lane) through the entire Temagami corridor, so cars race at 120-130 to pass as many slow vehicles as possible through the passing lanes, which are far too sparse.

With the aggression on today's roads, this will be a dangerous experiment. Even without the aggression, keeping the roads clear to see where the relevant passing zones are in inclement weather will be a challenge that is currently not being met.
Generally a bad and unsafe idea.
2+1 sounds like a great first step towards making this highway safer. 2 more steps must be taken. (1) designate highway 11, in it’s entirety, the same as the 400 series highways to ensure adequate winter maintenances. What is occurring now is criminal.

The area from the Field cut off (Field turn off) is the best area to put the test 3 lane section of road. There are many accidents around there and a 3rd lane would ease traffic better for people turning in and out of the exit. This is a good use of our tax money.
How about also trying the 3 lane highway on highway 144 from Timmins to Sudbury. When an accident happens on 144 the highway is shut down anywhere from 2 to 6 hours this ridiculous.
This is a general comment on the proposed three-lane, or as it's called by the government "2+1" test strip of Highway 11, north of North Bay.

The intent of this commendable project is diminished by the proximity of a Provincial election which would likely negate its successful completion.

It's about time someone is looking at 2+1 lanes on Highway 11 north.!!! I have been saying that for the last 20 years. I almost got killed last year because of a transport issue. All the money for road upgrades go to the GTA in the past.

The next area to look at would be Highway 144. That's a dangerous stretch of road with all the rock cuts. Already too many accidents north of Sudbury this year.

Hi:
I'm really please that the ministry has accepted to run 2 pilot project to challenge the adoption of the 2+1 highway concept on Hwy 11 in Northern Ontario.

As someone who travels Hwy 11 North, I feel the best location for the pilot would be the stretch from Highway 64 to Jumping Caribou Lake Road, as there is a long stretch south of Temagami without any passing lanes.

1) "Posted speed (prevailing) should be 20 km/h lower than the design speed."
This policy is the one most important cause of speeding in Ontario. Drivers feel that the roadway can be safely driven faster than allowed, and so they do.

I feel the pilot project should start at highway 64 and run north. This will allow all the extra concentrate trucks running from the mine in Sudbury to be part of the data collected.there is also better opportunity to include intersections and this will also I improve data collected.

I think this is great idea. Personally I believe the test area should be on a stretch of hwy for witch it is intended for. I believe the hwy 64 to caribou lake in my mind is the appropriate location as it is in the middle of the section intended for this service.

Im curious about any breaks in the divider. Is there any plan for how often there will be a break in the divider, allowing cars to turn around, or for the nearest emergency services to turn around if need be?
