Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is working to deliver North America’s first true 2+1 highway – a facility that would improve traffic flow and road safety at a lower cost than conventional highway twinning. This webinar will give an overview of the design model, the site selection criteria that considered factors such as geometry, traffic volumes and winter maintenance issues, and the facility design parameters that balance driver expectations, safety and costs.
