utcsstat!wagner (Michael Wagner) writes in part: Our (Canada's) highway system is significantly better than the American highways that I have had the (dis)pleasure of driving on, and I have driven a fair number of American highways ... A drive on our 400 series highways will demonstrate the difference ... They are significantly smoother, both in the micro and macro scale, and this saves considerable fuel. I disagree. I have traveled on the Interstate system in a large number of states, and I would rank Ontario's 400 series highways, on the whole, just middling, or a shade over. They are, however, distinctly better than the more rundown US freeways; this is in part because they were built later. Incidentally, he should speak of Ontario, not Canada. The highways here are entirely a provincial responsibility and there is considerable variation from province to province....just as in the US most highways are entirely a state responsibility.
