when it comes to designing highways, as evidenced by a new request for proposals for what officials are calling a"2+1 highway pilot" on the province's second-longest thoroughfare.
"The Ontario government is taking another step forward to make roads safer and improve traffic flow in Northern Ontario. Today, the province issued a request for proposals for a 2+1 highway pilot on Highway 11 north of North Bay," announced the ministry late last week. "A 2+1 highway is a three-lane highway with a centre passing lane that changes direction approximately every two to five kilometres. The highway model is used in other jurisdictions around the world and is more cost efficient than twinning a highway."
In other words, it's a highway with a centre lane that goes both ways, depending on where you're at. While confusing and kind of scary-sounding on paper, this model has actually proven successful in countries such as Germany, Russia, the U.K. and Portugal.We’ve issued an RFP for the pilot along Highway 11, bringing us one step closer to moving people and goods more safely across Northern Ontario.
