Driving Highway 401 through Scarborough and Pickering in 1992

[@martinroncetti4134]

Amazing to see the 401 so "empty".

[@user-zr6pl6nb6z]

I remember it well. I was just a young man back then. I wish I could go back.

[@AsphaltPlanet1]

This is a really neat video. The area has changed so much in 20 years. Thanks for posting.

[@csscott9803]

Lots of changes on the 401 30 years later

[@atakenname]

Thanks for sharing. Surprised to see how much has changed over 20 years. (Great songs in the background too!)

[@danielmarreviews3947]

Wow that has changed a lot . I live in Toronto and go to Pickering lots of times. Nowadays the express/collector system, high mast lighting, and 2 lanes exits are there. At the time, Pickering looks like it was a small town.

[@xtreme8797]

No wonder there were no express freeway at that time

[@ALuimes]

What's so obvious about there being no express "freeway" (lanes?) at that time?

[@TributetoCanada]

This footage is amazing. Can I incorporate a small 5-7 second clip of this into my video I am making which shows 401 now and then? (with crediting and linking to your channel)

[@ALuimes]

Sure, go ahead. I uploaded another old 401 video from Mississauga if your interested.

[@TributetoCanada]

@@ALuimes I'm so happy! I'll let you know when it is finished. Thank you. It will be cool. What you are doing with your channel is Top Notch - your whole channel and it is really rare and special to have this kind of footage.

[@TributetoCanada]

I posted it - it's on my channel!

[@cemicel]

Hello! I was wondering if we could use a portion of this video in an upcoming documentary project? Do you have an email I could reach you at?

[@ALuimes]

Go ahead and use it. Just credit me on the corner of the screen with the scene with the footage.

[@cemicel]

@@ALuimes Hi Andrew! Thank you, but I'm not sure we'll be able to do the on-screen credit. Could you possibly email me so I could share more information with you? I'm at courtmiceli [at] gmail [dot] com :)

[@deniseobrien9636]

@@ALuimes Following up for Courtney. Could you update your "about" section to include your email address so we can reach out to you to discuss? Or Courtney has previously left her email in her comment. We may not be able to add credit to corner of screen but we can credit you in final credit roll. Let's discuss. Thank you!

The campers are still camping on the left lane even in 1992 😂😂😂

[@80s90smovies.]

2:15 i used to live in those APT on the left until "91 the one on the right were condos....

[@ALuimes]

The overhead signs and lighting were all replaced during construction. When you say the lights are the same as today must mean the tall lights you see in the first part of the video, which were just being installed new.

[@Daconthocon78]

Highway 401 does change a lot up until now.

[@TemeculaValleyLapse]

Do you remember what kind of video camera it was? I've been looking for one from the 80's or 90's.

[@PatFrenchLeafsFan1]

Do you happen to have any at-grade railway crossing footage from the early 90s?

[@chrishenry5644]

Man I wish you got off at westney and about two minutes later you could’ve been videoing me as a 3 year old dammit

[@TemeculaValleyLapse]

Do you still have the camcorder by any chance?

[@ballofwax9yards]

Interesting

[@ALuimes]

No. Why?

[@R3troGT500]

Looks so small

[@80s90smovies.]

easier to cross back then then walking to the bridge 2:15
