Highway 7 - Kitchener to Guelph

[tomh009]

What does this do at Lancaster/Krug/Cedar? I mean, how does this change that disaster?

It dramatically reduces the amount of traffic to/from Lancaster. Or so I believe. It would take a traffic study to show for sure; maybe they’re all turning at Frederick or Victoria but I doubt it — I think a lot of the traffic at that intersection is to/from Lancaster above Victoria.

Having done a daily commute into Kitchener down Lancaster, from the Waterloo direction (though admittedly more than five years ago), I would guesstimate that at least two thirds of the Lancaster traffic turned off onto either Victoria or Queen.

I have not driven across the Weber/Cedar/Krug intersection many times, and possible never in rush hour. But is it really congested? Are there a lot of accidents? From my more recent pedestrian observations (again, mostly not in rush hour) it doesn't really seem super busy.
