Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[Canard]

I commuted back-and-forth from King/Victoria to the Southgate industrial park (between Guelph and the 401, on the Hanlon) every day for 5 years between 2003 and 2008. It was a toss-up if I'd take 7 across and then the Hanlon down, or take 8 down to 401 and over. Toward the end traffic was getting so bad I'd just take back roads every day. Far more relaxing, even though it took me longer.

Now on my commute from about the same area of Kitchener to the far side of Cambridge, I also used to always take 401 but then switched to backroads... until everyone started doing that and the backroads just got even more unbearable. Now, I just give up and sit in traffic on 401 like everyone else.
