Find this way works quite well dependent on the time, though now eglinton ave is #$@#$ because of construction and will be like this for 3 years
DVP N/B Exit bloor go up bayview northbound, moore st. to liard, to eglinton ave to leslie, up north to 401.
s/b is dependant on time DVP is usually pretty good s/b until you hit about 6:15 am (where it will be slow from sheppard ave or a little north to wynford), and should clear up as you approach eglinton ave... where I work , quite frequently I leave downtown to a site in the north area I travel the major routes (including the gardiner) early or late in the day.....
I commute from downtown every day. Usually for sb, if I am not on the DVP for 3:15 PM, i bypass it and try kingston rd, because I live out east. Don Mills may be an alternative, because of the motorcycle lane there from 3-6pm or is it 7? N/b Don mills to york mills then to the dvp, and on ur way.
I come in for work at 3:45 AM in the morning, so I dont have any traffic on the way in.. sometimes you can shoot a cannon ball down the road, and it wont come anywhere close to hitting anything. Either that or a drunk driver, drifting between the lanes
(angry face). Times i start in the afternoon or over night .....
For those taking the gardiner, it starts to jam up around 5:40 eastbound, usually approaching windermere ave / ellis avenue and is like that till about 9 in the evening... BRUTAL!! though it lightens up during parts of the day (after 11am), through the construction zone, eastbound east of the humber river, all the way to bathurst street, it's a mess.
Westbound it's usually jammed from jarvis at around 7:45 am all the way into the evening again around 8-9 pm again, fluctuating dependant on times of the day.. sometimes jammed from jarvis, sometimes jammed from spadina; dependent on time of day.
God can only predict once Pan am games comes to town..... Traffic will be a nightmare!
