Like Maaaaaaaham traffic flows better than the west end. Must be some good Russian vodka you're drinking out east or could be a knock-off brand from pac-mall.

The problem with markham is the city planners didn't plan the roads well enough to allow for decent expansion.
west end is for the most part a better layout.
I have zero issues, 407 and I cross markham end to end in like 3-4 minutes 
And it'll take you 45 mins from the north of Markham to reach the 407.
I drive Mississauga and Markham on a daily basis. Markham traffic is awful! That 404 is a mess!

wat?
it takes me like 2 mins to get to 407.
Also how does driving from Mississauga to warden/407 give you any sort of idea what ALL of Markham is like? Sound reasoning, hey guys I was on 403 by hurontario, THEREFORE ALL MISSISSAUGA TRAFFIC IS HORRIBLE, WORST IN COUNTRY.

Wont this fill the HOV with more traffic and thus negate the whole point of the lanes anyway?

I do some shopping in Markham in the evenings. I do some shopping during lunch time. All in Markham. And it's god awful.
And I call your B.S. on the 2 mins! You're probably right next to the 407. All north-south major roads are a fucking mess in Markham. Woodbine, Warden, Leslie... they're all crap in the morning, lunch and evening. And don't get me started on the disaster which is Hwy 7!!!

pretty much this. i try to use as many shortcut/side streets as i can if i head anywhere near hwy 7 (and even 16th now) during busy times.
i can't fucking WAIT for that bridge to be done just north of hwy 7...it'll connect the road where seneca is to east beaver creek where that new short condo building is. should ease some hwy 7 congestion which is ridic now. i believe they plan on bridges between 16th and major mack as well...hope it happens.
wish they could improve the N-S doe.
granted, sauga has become retarded, esp with brampton growth.

So you base your entire traffic argument on the stretch of road between Leslie - Warden along highway 7 (which is currently under construction and is the busiest place of the whole city)...this is how all of markham is?
Got it, very insightful,

Of course I can, I actually live here and I get around really well with the 407. How is that not relevant  when some wally is sitting idling in traffic in a construction zone on highway 7
All things considered of course there is traffic here, but it sure is no Mississauga/Brampton/Milton shitshow.

Why doesn't it count, is it a restricted road or something? I don't get the logic here...is someone FORCING all the people to be on highway 7?
It's a perfect highway that runs along the most congested road in the city...it's a great alternative. If it didn't exist there is no chance of me living where I live, I'd kill myself if I had to take highway 7 to get home 
So yes for all intensive purposes it does count.

shit cost money brah and we all broke ass nigraaz, so no, it don't s0n.
depends on usage though. if i need to be somewhere far in decent time they yeah i'll use it. if im shooting over across markham i wont bother but i'll also do my best to avoid hwy 7 as well. (i'm mostly just north of it anyways so it's easier to do so).
i can understand if you used for work daily then sure of course use it vs. hwy 7 during rush hour times.
Well if you took it once a week to bypass the hwy 7 traffic construction madness you are looking at what, $20/month?
You can't swing that? c'mon dawg

Costs $3.50 each way for me to 404 on a weekend, $7 round trip.
$50/$7 = 7 round trips/month
such lies, wow
Anything else is work related, that's not out of my pocket.
