Ive been hoping to do Hwy 5 soon, ive been there before but the lack of passing lanes at all between Hwy 1 and 16 seems daunting, but hopefully I’ll go on a quieter day. Been hoping to film Jasper for many years now

I definitely miss the digital stabilization of the GoPros, as they can be a lot more resilient over bumps, which makes sense based off its intended use! Can’t avoid the bumps when they’re bad however

That 30km downhill makes that entire drive for me, you should definitely head down!

It's Parks Canada that sets the speed limit I guess. But through Elk Island National Park, the speed limit on Highway 16 is 110. There's no reason why not through Banff National Park.

I often see the speed limit enforced between Banff and the BC border, but generally people stick at least to 110 as the route really isn’t designed differently than the rest of the drive to Calgary

that's far from Boston

Gillette Stadium is in the outskirts of Greater Boston, located in Foxborough, MA in the southwestwern part of Norfolk County, MA.

It took about 2.5 minutes waiting for the train to pass through

@@xlbolt This up-to-date drive looks amazing!

Spectacular route, road engineering is impressive - though need to keep going, “dual” the remainder. We did it (though heading east direction) a few months before you. Golden is worth a lunch stop - landscape is scarred a bit by the highway passing nearby, but town centre is old / cute and friendly

@@CrystalClearWith8BE I think the Vine St Expressway has it worse

@@thelonelywolf88, if you think I-676 is Philly's busiest highway, travelling through Central Philly and Camden via the Ben Frank Brg, you're right.

@@CrystalClearWith8BE plus NJ 42 / I-76 after the end of the AC Expressway leading into Philly is absolutely horrible

I always assumed was as chose old music, out of copyright or something?

Most music on KZbin you can put onto videos without major issue (only being blocked in US-sanctioned countries) though it comes at the expense of being able to make money directly off my KZbin content. But my channel can't be monetized anyways so not really much of a loss on my end

@@xlbolt surprised you don’t make some money on it - it’s a useful tool for tourists planning trips to Canada / US, quick way to get a sense of an area (urban build up, countryside, traffic levels…even driving standards or lack of!) even to the point of knowing “which way to go” when actually get there. My wife thought I had a uncanny ability recently to find my way around montreal - little did she know I’d done my homework (your channel, and also a GKorb KZbinr for the walking areas).

I've thought about it! But it appears that I don't actually even have the option to apply for monetization on my channel, and it'd be too much work to start anew. I've considered looking into making something like a Patreon in which anything I earn would go directly into the next trip budget, but I'll have to think about it further

@@xlbolt I think using the music you use is great. I don't generally care for the music of most road videographers. It's unfortunate that you can't monetize your channel because of it. In your case, I believe they should share the revenue with the creator of the video and those holding the copyright on the music. I honestly wouldn't have known the likes of Shalamar, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Modjo, and others had it not been for your channel. Some of the songs I was familiar with and some I was not. So, in short, your videos add value and listeners to their music. I did monetize my channel, and have had no problems with it, but I have mostly different content. KZbin does have music you can add to videos without infringement, but your music choices are better.

Either freeze-frame screenshot from my footage or taken from a Google Street view image as needed, then edited into the footage

@@xlbolt Is this SEPTA at 4:13?

Looking at the traffic map most days, it seems like such a chore to get anywhere along those two routes. There was quite a lot of traffic when I filmed, but it actually seemed pretty good compared to how busy the routes usually are. Hope to return soon, despite the quite stressful driving experience, that beat even out NYC in my opinion

@@xlbolt I'd take Philly traffic over Toronto any day

@xlbolt Schulykill Expwy, Vine St Expwy, Broad St, Kelly Dr, Lincoln Dr, Germantown Pk, Bustleton Pk, Henry Ave, Ridge Ave. Lol every major road in the city is always jammed up. The train rides save my sanity

@@thelonelywolf88 SEPTA is a great place to ride on. But some roadways doesn't get busy.

@@kennypalermo9071 Trains are all over in Philadelphia.

Hope it's been going on great for you with your footage! Philadelphia doesn't seem to have great transit alternatives in the region, and more specifically not enough transit compared to the huge commuter demand in the region. But I think on the highway itself, some basic merge/weaving improvements could go a long way to improving flow

@@xlbolt Your channel has 1977 subscribers, keep it up!

@@xlbolt Even with better merge lanes, 2 lanes in each direction is not enough for an urban freeway. If they stacked it, they may be able to get 5 lanes in each direction. My videos aren't going bad. Thanks for your wishes.

I always make sure to put on a good soundtrack for that final downhill if driving in the daytime. Always such a great drive towards Peachland

Especially in the gta, and the biggest problem is the tailgaters I hate tailgaters so much, if only I can install a tailgater countermeasure to them off my ass.
