We guess we ought to pipe down about how closing Queen and Spadina is causing a carmageddon—Toronto’s rush hour gridlock is nothing next to the snarls in oh-so-livable Vancouver. A recent study by GPS-maker TomTom compared the difference in travel time between non-peak and peak periods for 26 cities. After noted car-loving town Los Angeles, Vancouver had the worst rush hour delays, while Toronto came in a distant ninth (a marked improvement from its number three finish last year). In case you were curious, Toronto’s traffic is worst on Thursday evenings and the roads are clearest on Friday mornings. [Globe and Mail]
