Seems weird as we've never seen anything like this before, and it will likely be met with resistance, but I fully support and applaud this endeavour. I've been working in the morgue in Sudbury for a decade and am intimately familiar with the consequences of these accidents. Read more

Great idea and look forward to the pilot project being followed up shortly after by more stretches of Highway 11 and Highway 144 having the guardrail installed! As a northerner from Timmins, all I can say is that, this should have been done a long long time ago!

What is the government going to do to stop transports passing transports and taking up the entire passing lane like they are currently doing? Without a doubt this has to be one of the biggest contributors to the fatalities on highway 11. Read more

The implementation of the innovative 2 + 1 project is exciting news for all who travel the northern highways!! Thank you to Mark Wilson for his years of focus and dedication to making our roads safer. There have been too many families who have lost or disabled loved ones on our highways. Read more

Hi, I disagree with this project starting at the field cut off for 16km. I live just past the field cut off at 3329 HWY 11 N, This would mean every time I have to go to North Bay I will have to drive 16km North to turn around and drive 16km back to head back to North Bay. Read more

The example photo provided in the executive summary is not representative of the terrain that is present in the two proposed pilot sections. The localized terrain contains several rock cuts in both pilot sections. Read more

It would be nice if they did this from the French River to Parry Sound, as the 4 lanes there will be so long in coming that a lot of accidents could be avoided with this type of road. And as the 4 lanes are extended they could reuse that part of the road. Read more

as a retired mto roads supervisor that worked on the original building of the Thunder Bay expressway we have been concerned about the number of fatalities on that road in the last 5 years.We have proposed to deaf ears the use of newjersy barriers to separate oposing lanes of traffic thus reducing he Read more

The 2 +1 highway proposal is nothing more than a watered down version of a properly built four lane highway. The idea is more about cost savings than providing properly built four laned highways that carry a lot of heavy truck traffic across the country. Read more

Absolutely Not... Don't copy USA ... Canada has a totally different driver's behavior... this will end up in a tragedy, and severe collisions due to high speed ... think twice... Choose wisely with my taxpayer dollars- Dead people on the road or a 4 lane parkway.

This is progress for our northern highway which is a vital mode of transportation for truckers and for residents of the north. In the winter time the highways in the north are so terrible you play Russian roulette with your life when deciding to drive on highway 11.

This will have catastrophic consequences. It’s never a good idea to force traffic to go head on even though it’s only pass. What happens if you have 2 transport trucks, and a vehicle attempts to pass but doesn’t have enough room?? Read more

I think it's going to be a more frustrating and unsafe proposal. As a commercial driver. I see only a bottle neck situation. Hwy 11 is a major route. It would be like blocking 1 lane here and there on hwy 400. Its going to cause traffic waves down the road. Read more

It is very unfortunate the government of ontario only focuses on Southern areas when the north supplies many needed resources and are treated like 3rd world people. Instead of spending funds on highway 11, job about twinning the transcanada highway to the Manitoba border. Read more
