In how many other cities do flatbed trucks loaded with lumber drive down central
streets? In Ottawa, a six-lane “urban highway” runs through a largely
residential and pedestrian area, where King Edward Avenue and Rideau Street
connect the Macdonald-Cartier Bridge to the Queensway. King Edward is already a
dangerous street. As a link between two highway systems, and a broad straight
link at that, the street can sometimes have high-speed traffic on it, not to
mention heavy trucks. via
