      it's a nice stretch of highway -- though the traffic can kind of suck sometimes.

    I've always wanted to drive through St. Catharines. I never knew the 406 was that scenic! Great video I really enjoyed this one

      406 is a spur route of QEW from St. Catharines to Welland.

      @@AsphaltPlanet1 Yeah. It's a fun place there. Also I have a video suggestion for you to do: How about do a video of the 407/115 from Markham to Peterborough?

    I love that view coming down the hill on highway 6, coming off of highway 5

    Error in one of your screen comments during the video. The QƐШ was named for Queen Elizabeth the Queen mother yes but she was never a queen regnant. She was not Queen Elizabeth I, because as the wife of the king, King George she gets no number. Queen Elizabeth I was back during the days of Shakespeare.

    The route is between two cities on each end while taking over the western tip and parallel to the south-southwestern shoreline of Lake Ontario heading east.

    1:28 are you old enough to remember the Freeman Interchange before it was rebuilt to accommodate the 407? It was a traffic nightmare

    • @AsphaltPlanet1
      @AsphaltPlanet1  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do remember that, although I was fairly young when it was replaced. The old Freeman interchange left a lot to be desired.

      My dad was a truck driver, and his company's yard was on Fiddler's Green Rd south of the 403, so anytime we went to the US, we used the 403 & QEW to Ft Erie. I'm 42, so I have alot of memories of what a nightmare that interchange used to be
