JohnF Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I'll be commuting from Stratford to Hamilton (York Blvd) every day for the next two weeks and don't want to be late. I'm doing a real estate license course there and it's awkward if the teacher is late. Any traffic problems (construction etc) I should know about coming in 403 from Brantford and down the hill to just past the golf course? Thanks in advance for any help.

CLofchik Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you're commuting in regular rush hours leave a little extra, that hill gets packed with suburban numbnuts and there's no alternatives. Keep the speed down, that stretch on top of the Escarpment is heavily patrolled from Brantford-Hamilton. It might be quicker to come in on the 401 and down Hwy. 6, traffic flow on 6 would be going in the opposite directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other times I seem to just squeak in ahead of the worst traffic then. I'll check out the #6 route though. Thanks. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjcanoe Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hwy #6 going up and down the hill is under big time construction. Give yourself about 15-20 mins extra and you sjhould be fine. make sure you avoid the traffic in K-W as well! jjcanoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go via the 403 tomorrow and go home by #6 and see what's what then. Jeez. You guys are confusing me. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishing n autograph Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 403 would be a better option because even the commute from Stratford through Kitchener was a pain when I worked there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pick up 403 at Woodstock so I miss Kitchener traffic. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're buyin The students seem to like me to hang around at lunch so they can ask questions. I don't mind. It keeps things running better in class and let's me get away quicker at the end of the day.
