some highway in canada, worlds' busiest? (Santa Monica: move, cars, metro area)

According to wikipedia, their highway 401. Surely at least a couple in the LA metro area would top this.

Typical ignorant American. If it's not in the U.S. it can't exist. Yeah...some highway in Canada. Duh....

It might be called the busiest because the cars on it actually move.

Well, they move SOMETIMES....

Highway 401 is technically the world's busiest highway, in some parts carrying over 500,000 vehicles per day, more than the Santa Monica Freeway, I-75 in Atlanta or I-10 in Houston. It's wider than any other freeway in the world (18 lanes in one section) and still has huge traffic jams during rush hour. Saturdays and the odd Sunday are no exception - you'll still be in bumper-to-bumper traffic at the west end of Toronto on any given day unless it's past midnight.
