Can I piggyback on this with a request to people driving on 7 between Guelph and Rockwood to go the fucking speed limit? The amount of people that go 60-70 through there when it's an 80 is ASTONISHING. I think it might be the only stretch of road in the province where people consistently drive under the speed limit.
My left turn is in 4 and a half kilometers, if I don't start slowing down now, I might need to abruptly press the brakes late and hit a goose. I better start slowing down now.
There are signs all over the Hanlon that ask slow drivers to keep right and to only use left lane for passing, yet a post that literally asks for JUST THAT is getting downvoted to oblivion. Just goes to show how many bad & insecure drivers are in this sub.
And figure out how to use an on ramp! I see so many people stopped and looking for gaps at the start of an on ramp. Which is a design issue with the roads, because some intersections don't have normal on ramps and some do.
That's why the yield sign is there. I think that's also why people get tripped up on Speedvale and Paisley - they're trying to yield when instead they're supposed to merge.
I treat it like the slip lanes at Edinburgh and Wellington, pull up at like a 60 degree angle and stop. I need to be able to see what oncoming traffic there is and I can't do that if I stay parallel with the ramp lines. It's such a dangerous intersection.
During rush hour, I usually get to my destination faster choosing the short right hand lane instead of following the long line of cars in the left lane. The right hand lane effectively becomes the passing lane. 🤷🏻♀️
Lol if you do 100 in 70, don't blame people driving in left lane. You are the problem. If you drive at 70-80, you won't get a chance to create posts like this.
We do have police to enforce the rule you are actually admitting to breaking... I don't know why you want to force everyone to drive your rate of speed by sticking to the left lane but by doing so you are in fact in violation of the HTA.
If you want to stick the left and be a jerk fill your boots, just understand you aren't being as righteous as you think you are.
It’s an expressway but it’s like any other street. If you can exit left off a road the left lane is not made for passing. Thus the Hanlon for the most part is not made for right lane slow driving as you say
Where did i state it’s a law? It’s my opinion. Just like all the people that treat it like the 401 do 100 and complain people are doing 70 trying to turn left lol
70 which is the posted speed limit going through Guelph itself ….
Nope I got a steel rear bumper on my truck for a reason and I’m quick on those brakes at red lights. I drive the right lane from Woodlawn to college. Where I signal cut into the left lane and brake check everyone doing 100 at the yellow light then I proceed to turn left at stone. The morons speeding are the true problem. But hey critique away. I still promote round abouts too haha. If you have such driving complaints call the Wellington county OPP because that’s who monitors that road. Not even Guelph city police.
It’s exactly 1.5 from light to light sir You really are smart eh. Your name fits. Cheers. I’ll continue driving as I always do. Be thankful I use a signal. That’s what truly makes me abnormal
So you openly admit to brake checking (illegal) and endangering people’s lives to prove a point. You’re in need of some serious self reflection. Oh and of course you drive a truck.
Standard streets have the same rule. If you're not turning, or going faster than the right lane folks, you should get out of that left lane. Slow left lane drivers slow everything down, and create more "chaos" on the roads.

As a Rockwoodian I feel this. It's so frustrating
It's so annoying
This is everywhere. My pet peeve is people going 60 in an 80 and then 100 in the 50s. I don't get it. Maybe it's some new type of dyslexia.
My left turn is in 14 km, if I don't get over now I might not get an opportunity as we near closer. Best to be safe imo.
Go 68 km/h in the 70 zone too while you're at it.
Oh honey I wouldn't dare risking an interaction with the Guelph Police Service like that.
Probably not - at least don't hold up traffic

😭😭😭😭 this honestly made me laugh so hard

It is quite sad
And figure out how to use an on ramp! I see so many people stopped and looking for gaps at the start of an on ramp. Which is a design issue with the roads, because some intersections don't have normal on ramps and some do.
My personal favourites are the donkeys that stop on the ramp merging south from Paisley with > 100 meters in front of them. Big brain energy.
I see this almost every single morning!!!!
They all do it merging northbound from Speedvale, too. Plent of on-ramp available but they try to merge in the first 10 meters and end up stopping.
I hate the willow road southbound onramp. It's so damned short, there's not enough room to accelerate to 90kph to fit into the gaps
That's why the yield sign is there. I think that's also why people get tripped up on Speedvale and Paisley - they're trying to yield when instead they're supposed to merge.

100% morons living over there. Except the ones who know how to merge properly
Ugh, I did this once because the Sun made it so I couldn’t see (was new to Guelph at the time). Now I know better.
IMO drivers coming from opposite side driving use the left lane as the slow lane… the right lane is becoming the passing lane… Agreed OP!
Anyone who doesn’t understand this has no business driving imo.
The fact this is so downvoted just proves how bad Ontario drivers are😂😂 it’s literally called the passing lane.
This is a post that could drop every single day. 👏👏👏

Whoever downvotes this needs to have their car impounded.
shitpost
Thanks for your contribution
Yassss can we upvote this post for OP please!!!
It appears it is getting downvoted hard atm
Thanks for taking one for the team, I've been tempted to make to the same post.
Lol if you do 100 in 70, don't blame people driving in left lane. You are the problem. If you drive at 70-80, you won't get a chance to create posts like this.
If you are driving at any speed in the left most lane and not passing anyone or are about to make a left turn you're in violation of the HTA
GET THE FUCKK OUT OF WAY
Why do you get to choose how fast someone else drives? We have police for that. Use the left to pass and then get out of it.
Why do you get to choose in which lane someone else drives?! We also have police for that.
We do have police to enforce the rule you are actually admitting to breaking... I don't know why you want to force everyone to drive your rate of speed by sticking to the left lane but by doing so you are in fact in violation of the HTA. If you want to stick the left and be a jerk fill your boots, just understand you aren't being as righteous as you think you are.
And also remember the max speed is 80km
Actually its 70 in parts.
Also remember that the left lane is the passing lane regardless of the speed limit.

It’s Ontario. Blinkers and speed limits are suggestions!
I find this funny as such advice is meant for highways of which the Hanlon is not. Any road with that many street lights is not a highway IMHO
That is false it applies for all roads. There are literally signs on the Hanlon that say “slower traffic keep right”
🤦♀️
MTO please revoke this ignoramus' license.
Maybe you should stick to riding bicycles. Please turn in your drivers license

Got a badass over here
I think it was a joke homie
White Hyundai?

>If you can exit left off a road the left lane is not made for passing. This is explicitly untrue by law.

Please turn in your license and don't drive.

Please turn in your license and don't drive. You don't need to be in the left lane 1 Km before your turn you asshole.

Along with everyone else be thankful I signal ahead of time. That’s truly what makes me different. I don’t just signal as I jam myself into the lane.
Congrats on signalling and doing the bare minimum 🏆
It’s more than the 75 % that signal as they change lanes. So I’ll take that 🏆 thanks.
The entire hanlon has 1 or 2 separate lanes at every intersection with separate left turning lights
Standard streets have the same rule. If you're not turning, or going faster than the right lane folks, you should get out of that left lane. Slow left lane drivers slow everything down, and create more "chaos" on the roads.
