    It depends on where you count from. If you count near the bottom, there are 11 lanes across in one direction, meaning a total of 22 lanes

    No, it doesn't, because feeder lanes have always been excluded from the discussion, since the lane counts listed for the 401 don't include them.

    And I'm sorry but just shut up and stop talking. Multiple sections of the 401 running right next to highway 7 look identical to this, as do parts of this the 400, the qew, and the 403 / 407 merge areas.

    Toronto and southern Ontario as a region can't say shit when it comes to regional transportation networks. We designed one of the worst fucking transportation systems imaginable.

    We built the whole region as a hub and spoke model with a singular hub (Toronto), that everything runs to. We failed to interconnect any other cities in the regions while also failing to build any adequate public transit within any cities that aren't Toronto. We built a whole GO train network that again connected nothing to nothing that wasn't the financial district of Toronto to random Suburban parkings lots at rush hour. When I originally said that Toronto looks just like this photos that is true both metaphorically and as I've printed out, repeatedly literally.

    Starting on the right, you have a ground level road with two lanes going either direction, an off ramp, 5 lanes of collectors, a transition between collectors and express, then 2 lanes of express, then 2 lanes of express the other way, a transition, and 5 lanes of collectors.

    And I was basing my comment on Toronto looking like this on there being sections of the 401 and 400 that are similarly around the 14 lanes wide seen in the photo.
