Why 416 Traffic
Know the busy days before they get busy.
Every app told me how bad traffic was right now.
None warned me before it got bad.
Why I made it
I love Toronto, but...
I lived next to the Rogers Centre.
I’d go rock climbing and keep one eye on the Jays score. I needed to be back before police started barricading streets in the ninth inning.
Waze would gleefully announce a 23-minute delay as I hit a red haze of brake lights and a symphony of honking.
Busy days don’t come out of nowhere. Why wasn’t anyone forecasting Toronto’s traffic peaks and valleys?
That obsession became 416 Traffic.
From clue to calendar
How 416 Traffic looks ahead
I spy with my little eyes
Event schedules and planned road & public transit closures are clues.
Do the math
Just a Jays game, or a Jays game and a concert both ending at rush hour? 416 Traffic looks at how the whole day stacks up.
