I drive on Cannon to take the 403 to work, and had a thought yesterday morning when I was stuck behind a truck and couldn't accelerate to the actual speed limit b/c the truck, as trucks are wont to do, took longer to increase its own speed after having been stopped at a light. Found myself wondering if two-way traffic with no transport trucks really wouldn't give us avg. commute times that are no different from commute times now. As a driver I'd gladly put up with it if they did turn out to be a little slower-- instead of driving behind trucks that I can't see around and that impede my ability to negotiate the road as safely as possible. Two-way streets would make the city more liveable for both pedestrians and commuters, really.
