We have no freeways here at all. The population is approaching 800K and the traffic will only worsen, we are still stuck in the 1960's. Takes about 45 mins to mins to get from one end to other without in non rush hour. I've been to numerous big cities with proper roads and it didn't even take that long.
Winnipeg's perimeter highway still has traffic lights
would be much as a true Freeway with controlled access.
You can't. Every single place I've been in England, hotels, B&Bs, people's houses, all the windows open out; not up or to the side. So, you can't put bug screens on windows over there

Unbelievable. Even cities here with 50k population have a limited access highway running along the perimeter on at least one end. Is the entire Trans-Canada Hwy 1 from Winnipeg to Calgary at least 2 lanes each direction? I noticed from Google Earth that Hwy 1 across the Prairies is not limited access, it has at-grade intersections

Manitoba has some of the worst roads in the country. Going east to Ontario the Trans-Canada is not paved, then as soon as you cross the border the Ontario road is MUCH better. Even the cities in Saskatchewan have better roads than here.
Everyone knows where the money goes to in this Provence. The one reason I can't wait to leave, I'd live in a colder city if it was SAFER than here (Tromso, etc). I won't say more.

As to the bolded, I think that's a US only pattern. As for the Transcanada, the Canadian government put less money into highway funding. There's not much traffic in on it outside of big cities, anyway.

Odd. In every place I've ever lived in except uni accommodation, the building had sash windows. But then I have lived in older buildings. Most buildings in the UK have sash windows, unless they are modern buildings.

Except for southern Ontario - those 400-series highways gives the US Interstates a run for their money - nice, big, fat and straight highways. The one going around northern Toronto is a true monster, something like 10 lanes wide, plus collector routes that have even more lanes - that thing is a beast...lol.
