Is it me or are these the most dangerous roads to travel on?
My entire drive to work is on "back roads", 1 lane each way and I have to say it "feels" the least safe than any other type of road imo for a fatal collision.
Let's say with the 407 feeling the safest at 9/10, these to me are like 2/10 and much more likely to be involved in a serious to fatal collision.
This happened 10 minutes after I drove past the exact same spot, sends chills down my spine. So many times you see dipshits weaving in and out of their lane, I am not sure if drunk or cell phones or both.

Trying to see if there any measures to take to make it "safer"
I try to hug the shoulder or at least stay as close as possible. Wait to have a car in front of you, etc.

I opt to not take Elgin Mills when I go home. Single lane roads, less margin of error. I rather take Major Mac even though there are lights, more cops, etc.

If people would just keep up with the flow of traffic and not hold up everyone else because they are afraid it would be safer. But of course that wouldn't happen. Especially in Markham

People also need to get off their phones.
It's so annoying, holding up traffic, taking forever to take off when the light changes green.
We need stiffer penalties and better enforcement. I feel like YRP-Markham don't pull enough cars over. I was following a car and we were both doing 90 in a 60 and passed a cop in the opposite direction, cop didn't care, must've been end of shift and wanted to go home.
