Drivelapse video of several Toronto Freeways including starting on the westbound 401 express lanes in Scarborough and then heading south on the Don Valley Parkway to the Gardiner Expressway through Downtown Toronto
The original music for this video was muted for copyright reasons. I replaced the song with some stock RUclips music in order to make the visible again.
What was the name of the other song?
@@gerardolongoria4007, read the end credits. It's the former song before this video was taken down and backed up for free royalty music.
The royalty free music is called "Stellar Winds" by Unicorn Heads. It's what it says when I check the bottom of the description box.
Was about to ask a question about the original song, which seems to be better fit!
I loved the other song
I couldn't expect less from a country such as Canada which can be easily ranked as the best country in the world, love from Mexico
Hey I’m from Germany and I wanted to visit Toronto this year but unfortunately my flight got cancelled because of the virus and now I’m sitting at home and I regret it. Btw. Great video especially for me as a European it’s interesting to see how freeways look across the Atlantic
That's too bad you missed out on your trip. The coronavirus has certainly put a wrench into life for the last little while. Thanks for the comment, and I hope you get a chance to visit in the future.
Certain sections of the 401 are the busiest pieces of highway in the world. Obviously closer to the Toronto area.
Excellent stuff. Always like a traffic free drive through downtown
I visited GTA three times when I was living in Canada as a foreign student ! Great times !
Hello from Texas, awesome freeway drive between the condos is cool! 😎
Dallas, Texas is nice too! Which do you like better?
Jason Nelson I like Dallas freeways, one of my favorite is the Central expressway.
@@dennisalvarez2518 Very good! Dallas arguably has the most sophisticated/awesome freeway network on the planet earth! I am a Canadian living in Frisco (but I am not from Toronto). Have you been to Canada?
Jason Nelson First I would like to say Welcome to Texas! But sorry to say I haven’t been to Canada. What are your thoughts on the Woodall Rodgers Fwy that has a park built over part of it. What about the High Five?
@@dennisalvarez2518 The hi-five is crazy. You'll have to forgive me. I know the name Woodall Rogers Freeway but am not sure which one it is. What number is attached to it? I stay mainly in the northern suburbs, so I am definitely familiar with your favorite - Central Expressway (i75). Wait-a-second. Does Woodall Rogers extend somewhere around the Old Red Bird Mall?
They're both municipal expressways through Ontario's capital, Toronto while accessing few of the 400-series highways of Ontario (401/404 to 427/QEW).
This is a very familiar route [ up until the DVP ]... I take it every morning to Mississauga.
Very nice driving video tour... thanks for sharing.
I'm an absolute sucker for urban canyons. There's just something sublime about it.
Reminds me of all my friends in high school.
2003 Graduate.
i love canadian highways
Excellent drive ! Thanks for sharing..
Superb video footage on the highway! Well Done!
Good work love your videos amazing
thanks, i appreciate that very much.
Very high image quality! Also nice work on the signs!
Really nice!! I love new videos. Keep doing it!
Bronskiiii beat!. Without a doubt have driven here and listened to 80's music lol.
Tell Me Why by Supermode is a 2006 composition with a sample of Smalltown Boy (1984 song by Bronski Beat).
However, the main key of this composition is B minor. The main key of Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy is C minor.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE Thanks Shazam.
This video has been backed up and this is a different song we're listening in the soundtrack.
I'm glad this video is backed up. Also, this is a different song I'm listening than the other.
the old song was muted for copyright purposes, so I had to replace the music with royalty free music in order to get it back online.
You're right. Finding songs for a soundtrack is hard and some songs are safe to use and some aren't due to copyright purposes.
Great video and I agree regarding the condos in downtown Toronto. Just at a glance, it seems that everyone in Toronto lives in a high-rise condo. lol
All the single family homes are behind the trees on the way downtown. There aren’t many of them left right downtown especially near the freeways. Land values are just too high and have long been bought up and replaced by hi-rise towers.
Videos just like this One are so Impressive to Watch.
thank you.
i remember when there was no don vally parkway
You got lucky on the Don Valley ParkingLot
Jonas Sungaila I chose well. This was filmed fairly early on a Saturday morning.
@@AsphaltPlanet1 xD You cant plan GTA traffic. How many times I look up the traffic app and see that its all green, Then when I get there someone got into an accident and causes a backlog of cars. You got lucky, but got video anyway. Hope to see more
Jonas Sungaila that’s true. This was my second attempt at filming the highway.
If you this is your drive to work, you cant not be happy and show a smile.
Great video.
As a side note, I am very concerned that the Gardiner is ready to collapse.
In 2012, engineers warned that the eastern portion near the DVP elevated highway would be unsafe after SIX years (2018).
Well here we are, a month from halfway through 2019.
That old piece of crap is now ready to come down. It freaks the hell on me and I won't go south of Union, even (especially?) on public transit.
How about a shout out to those amazing ground hogs that live on the grassy island between the north bound and south bound lanes at the 3:00 mark. Love those guys. They often can be seen sitting watching the traffic travelling north.
At 4:17 to the right you can see eastern Ave old bridge (got abandoned when the DVP was built)
interesting.
Need a night time drive of this route.
I want to drive a canadian freeway someday
How are you able to capture your signs with your camera without it being you know all wonky. is it like a drone and you fly up to a sign and capture it? i'd love to know, thanks!
I use a separate camera to capture the signs. Sometimes they are wonky, but I use perspective crop in photoshop to straighten them out as needed before i put them in to a video.
I love Toronto. How about you can make a video of Calgary. I would really like to go there. But the city that I really want to go to is Jakarta.
Calgary is a three day drive or a four hour flight from where I live. I'd love to go back to Calgary actually, but I wouldn't expect to see any Calgary videos on this channel anytime soon. Trans-Canada Phil has a bunch of Calgary stuff on his channel though
Oh 😥
Nice!!
At the end of the video it says you filmed it on August 12, 2018 but in the video title it says July 15. Also, is it true that some in Toronto want to downgrade the DVP? If your video captured a quiet time it needs to be greatly expanded.
This video was filmed on July 15. I must have forgotten to change the date in the end screen. I’ve missed that before. The Parkway is pretty chronically congested, but it’s pretty unlikely it will ever be expanded. There have been some ideas to build an HOV lane as far south as Eglinton, but that’s unlikely to happen in my opinion. Most investment in Toronto is in rapid transit. There are several new transit lines proposed or under construction in the rough vicinity of the Don Valley Parkway. Thanks for the comment.
I cant find the music in this video because the wrong music name was in there, so whats the song name for this music?
The original music had to be muted for copyright reasons, the new music is just generic stock music from youtube.
I hate how the 401 west to DVP south ramp is one lane.
its technically 2, 1 for express and 1 for collectors
it looks like a day that ends in y😃
I'm really curious - how did you recreate the signs & screens?
the signs are taken with a different camera.
@@AsphaltPlanet1 ah interesting, I thought you recreated all of them (since I notice that you used the same font as the highway signs everywhere in the vid). So did you manually crop and transform them, or there is some kind of automation going? ;)
It’s pretty much all done manually. Occasionally I will alter a sign to meet my needs, but they are basically all just cropped as is
@@AsphaltPlanet1 Wow didn't know that - must be a lot of work. Thanks for the info and nice video as always 💯
Señoras y señores, nuevamente estoy aquí para compartirles otro video hecho por mi bella novia y futura esposa, Elisa Vicedo, mientras estamos a bordo de mi camioneta BMW X6 negra del año 2012. Hoy, domingo 24/7 del presente año, cuando son las 11, 30 de la mañana, tras salir de nuestro apartamento donde vivimos juntos aquí en ésta bella metrópoli canadiense luego de tomar un buen desayuno y asearnos muy bien, nos dirigimos al estadio Rogers Centre, porque vamos a presenciar el juego Toronto Blue Jays vs Seattle Mariners, el cual dará inicio a la 1, 00 p.m. Disfruten con el video, espero que sea del agrado de ustedes y que lo comenten.
❤️❤️❤️
i was going to pearsin airport but i saw someone get kiled
WELCOME TO CANADA
DRIVE SAFE ITS 70 MPH IN CANADA
in my opinion, downtown would look much better without the condos
There would certainly be a lot less to Downtown without the condos
ooooohhhhhhyes
Ontario Canada you're next.
Since Wynne is out, Toronto could impose tolls on the DVP and the Gardiner.
That is a municipal government decision xD
ACE
Another example home to selfish, incompetent and reckless drivers. Left lane hogs north of 401 with signs “Slower Traffic Stay Right” is never read or abide, either cannot read or they just don’t care, the later is very much the case.
Driving south of 404, the nightmare begins due to the worst design motorway section in the world. Completely idiotic. Just picture this, you have the busiest motorway, 401 travelling east and west along with DVP travelling north and 404 merging into DVP. Driving south to DVP you encounter three lanes merge into two and six lanes merge into three. You have all at the same time, two lanes 401 east merge on the right, 401 west merge on to left and 404 south merge in between. Just imagine the jam this occurs all day and night. I have never seen chaos in my entire driving experience. When you have the typical Ontario drive competence and selfish driving habits, it is a nightmare. Complete disaster and whoever thought this was a good idea, the name and shame should be posted for all to see as you crawl into a wall of trucks and cars crawling at a fast speed of 5 km/hr for a half hour. If there is an accident ahead, just turn your vehicle off and watch the nightmare that beholds in front of you. Junk in Junk out!
some terrible drivers up in Toronto
2:35 the fact that this traffic nightmare and the hordes of morons obstructing the passing lane is considered "smooth" is why im embarrassed to live in this city
Toronto only highway
