King's Highway 401, Windsor Outbound (Seventh Anniversary Special, E8-7)

[@xlbolt]

Love seeing some Canadian footage! I've always 401 thru Windsor interesting due to how it appears "overbuilt" for the moment, though I love how the tunnels keep the scenery above ground continuous. I'm sure once the new bridge opens, we will see more traffic along 401. Nice video as always

Windsor, being both very fast growing, and being far enough from other Canadian major metro areas really shows just how fast the country is urbanizing. At present the Windsor CMA is about 450,000 but by 2050 it is expected to outgrow other cities and continue to attract migrants from more expensive regions, reaching a population of 744,000 according to StatsCan estimates - current infrastructure development takes this into account, and as a result what is actually smart planning can look over built. Before 2030 the new hospital will be a major growth driver along the highway, and if current development plans hold there should be suburban development along the 401 much further out than there is now.

Awesome stuff. Can't wait to see the Gordie Howe Intl Bridge open, I'm surprised there is no existing freeway-to-freeway connection between the 401 and the Interstate network. Congrats on the 7th anniversary!!

Thank you! I am also looking forward to the Gordie Howe International Bridge. Since I am attending college in the Detroit area, I am keeping an eye on it.

Nice work on the Highway 401 video. I hope customs was friendly :)

[@InterstateKS]

Thank you! Canadian customs seems to be fairly neutral or friendly while US customs ranges from neutral to shouting "CITIZENSHIP!" the moment you arrive at the booth.

Shortest video special I've ever seen. :P Welcome to Canada! If you thought the Interstate signage was different from State to State, in Canada it's like another country from province to province.

Thanks for your videos. May I make what I hope you will consider to be a constructive suggestion? I watch your videos almost exclusively on my TV (via the Apple TV YT app) and find that the commentary text is hard to read because it gets washed out against the road background. How about changing the color of the text to yellow, or adding a slightly contrasting translucent background under the text?

I'm thinking of making the black border around the characters thicker for Season 9.

[@InterstateKS]

I have one more video from Canada before the videos go back to the US.
