I am a "roadfan". This means that I make time-lapse videos of driving on various roads and freeways, mainly (though not exclusively) around Toronto and Southern Ontario in general, with the hope of contributing material to this area of interest. I also like watching similar videos from all over the world.
I appreciate positive comments. Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to respond to each and every comment. I do not, however, appreciate racist or offensive comments. Also, this is not a political discussion board, so if your comment does not have anything directly to do with the video, driving, roads, or anything of this sort, it probably should not be posted.
Thanks for watching.

Around Toronto in 3 Minutes: A Drive on Highways 401, 427, Gardiner, and DVP
Distance: 68 km / 42 miles
Time: July 2010
Camera: Sony HDR-CX300
Source Format: AVCHD, 1920x1080/60i, 24 mbps
Editing Software: Corel VideoStudio Pro X3
Music: DJ Dean - It's a Dream
Okay, so I lied a little - this so-called "Toronto ring" doesn't actually encircle all of Toronto anymore, since the city is now much larger. This is true more or less in all directions (especially the north, since a large portion of North York is actually north of Highway 401). In the south, however, the Gardiner does form a boundary, since that is where the city meets Lake Ontario.
The drive begins on Allen Road, an expressways I often use to access Highway 401.
From then, we take Highway 401 west to the interchange with Highway 427.
We then take the 427 south to the point where it splits into the Queen Elizabeth Way (west) and the Gardiner Expressway (east)
We take the Gardiner eastbound and pass through downtown Toronto (the view is quite nice from there). This urban freeway passes more or less parallel to the shoreline of Lake Ontario.
We then take the ramp to the Don Valley Parkway (DVP) and continue northbound on the eastern wing of the "ring". This freeway passes along the Don River Valley, hence the name. However, it is often sarcastically known as the Don Valley Parking Lot, and soon enough in the video you will see why (note that the video was made on a weekend). It is the only freeway that brings commuter traffic from several suburbs into downtown Toronto, and hence tends to be jammed. However, it is quite a scenic drive compared to the other freeways. The big bridge at around 1:53 is part of the Bloor-Danforth subway line.
We continue on the DVP until the interchange with Highway 401. From this point on, the DVP continues north as Highway 404. Instead of continuing north, however, we take the ramp back onto the westbound 401 and then exit back onto Allen Road (this time northbound). This is one of rare occasions where an exit is located on the left side of the freeway.
Well, this is it for another video. I hope you enjoyed.

I used to live in Toronto had to leave exactly 12 years ago, this brings back memories, it's so nostalgic with this music, I miss it 🥲
Long live, my sweet blessed city of Nazareth, my Home my all where Jesus lived with Holy Mary and St Joseph. Haifa is where I lived fro almost seven years, and Jerusalem. Blessed is the Name of the Holy Family of Nazareth! Fiat! Amen!
I’ve never
(:
I had taken to for my 5 yrs ago
That renege very as long time ago 11 months
Ótimo vídeo amigo, música maravilhosa, me vi nas ruas de Toronto nas minhas fantasias e aventuras da minha juventude KKK, like garantido aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷 tenho uma amiga que mora aí em Toronto 🇨🇦

Love the 401 east of Toronto!
Nice music! I love that night drive!
Be'er Sheva, my city! I live here close to the city entrance.

When traveling from Tel-Aviv (near beach) to BG Airport Modern brand new Hybrid Toyota Alper- Hope in The dark song Taxi driver was very quiet but very friendly Perfect quality and very nice travel Shalom for him
Israel highways are similar to highways in Toronto area!
Thanks fore sharing the view of awesome highways But if it was be able to see using VR glasses would be freaky because , not cause velocity , but the overtakings 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 😱 I imagine the passengers 😂😂😂😂😂😂 The driver is really good driver but who sees outside get really freaked because it’s like Woody Woodypecker driving 😂😂😂 Congratulations for the video and the driving ability Very best regards
Cibele Mehmood this is very close to Nazareth where jesus grew up and many Jews in Israel are now believers.
Its amazing how incredibly similar Israel's freeways look to our Interstates in America. Highway 6 looks literally like something out of California.
road 6 south in 10 minutes
thanks for this - you're good driver! I drove this route long time ago and your video helped refresh my memory for some writing I'm doing just now. Cheers
please is this the same small town JESUS CHRIST was born? over 2000 years ago?
No Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, was born in Nazareth.
That’s not a bad drive - thanks for posting. The renovations on this casino look great. Looking forward to going back soon.
Six flags is in Queensbury that's we went there and it was so much fun riding rollercoasters and water slides.
After six flags, we took interstate 81 north continues onto Hwy 137 north and took the Hwy 401 West exit toward Toronto. It was six years ago before Civic Holiday.
Thanks for the drive down memory lane. I used to live in Waterloo near the 85/Weber St. interchange as well as in Cambridge and Mississauga (in fact, you drove right past my old warehouse at Erin Mills Pkwy & Mississauga Rd.). Being in Red Deer now, it's going to be a long time before I can make that drive again
Nazareth looks like Hollywood, highway 6 looks like route 20 from the Mother Lode to Fort Bragg, and some parts of Be'er Sheva sort of looks like part of Sacramento. I do notice there has not been a whole lot of development in the state of Israel, were here in California there are so many ugly building crushing us in. I think I'll move to Israel. But I can do the heat. Interesting video though.
please don't speed it, please, I want to enjoy the ride, not be on a roller coaster
Nice Video concerning the Israeli Highway Authority from Tel Aviv to Nazareth in Israel. by the way the Pop Video and Music is out of this World.Keep up the Good Work Israel.
Am Yisrael Chai!!! Love from Amsterdam!
ממש מיוחד!
Israel's highways are almost like the Trans Canada Highway as Canada's national highway is well known for having intersection exits in addition to overpasses and underpasses.
The only fanatics (some barely) are ultra arthodox jews
it's a rich nation, with world ranked universities and leader in advanced technology products and science
I don't know from what moon shuttle came these people. but the fact is. Israel is a first world country with high western culture with alittle jewish touch to it.
yeah, except Toronto's busiest "freeway" is busier than the busiest one in LA by a lot.
The winding roads going up and down have blind spots, drivers hit the brakes on the blind spots creating back ups.
I used to bike here from Galt and go swimming and fishing during the spring to fall time of the year. I still remember the cute girls on the beach, the fight the sunfish would put up and the occasional Pike we would catch. What a beautiful park. Love your remixes too.
The reason why everyone hates israel is because they hate the relegion, A smart man said "If israel put down the guns and said, we want peace" Then it wont be no israel. But if the countries around israel such as syria, libanon, egypt, iran, irak ect. Put down their guns then it would be peace.
Women my dude. Golda Meir
The speed limit on Route 6 is 110 km/h. Late last year the government expressed the intention to raise it to 120 km/h, but in order to do that, the law must be changed to raise the default freeway speed limit, which is currently also 110 km/h. I suppose most freeways look somewhat similar, except that here in Ontario the colours of the lines are reversed compared to Israel :)
A lot changed since this video.. It is now 120 km/h, and widened to 3 lanes in most sections, some 4 lanes. Also extended north and south. Great video though :-)
@@mastertheknife Haha yeah I know, I've been to Israel several times since I made this video (last time in 2019). Unfortunately I no longer make these videos, but thankfully there are many Israeli driving channels out there now that are much better than mine :) I have to say, the pace of road construction in Israel is impressive - every time I visit there are many improvements. Like you said, Highway 6 is now much longer and it is even faster to access it from Nazareth Illit (now Nof Hagalil) from the north side past the tunnels near Yokneam. The speed limit increases are also very welcome, especially since studies show that higher limits often end up reducing accidents, which is something many (including where I live in Canada) don't understand. בכל מקרה, תודה על הצפייה, תמיד מפתיע אותי שיש עוד אנשים שצופים בסרטונים האלה חחח
The road looks like the QEW and 401 in the countrified areas of Ontario, Canada. What's the speed limit on your Route 6? 100 km/h or something? Looks like they're moving at a real good clip, bro'...
Toronto is like LA but with much fewer freeways
ok. i understand. Though i didn't mean anything offensive or "Fuel hatred". Must be i misread your old comment i the most not accurate way. mostly because of bad grammar. Sorry :/.
