If you live, work or travel in southern Ontario, you've
probably spent your fair share of time on the 400 series highway
system, including highway 400, 401, 403, 404 and 427 to name just a
few. If you use a highway as a part of your regular commute, high
traffic volume, winter weather crawls and regular lane closures due
to accidents will often leave you sitting bumper to bumper, longing
to get home and forget about this agonizing part of your day.
When you do finally make it home, kick off your shoes and decide
to curl up to watch some TV, what should come on as you flip
through the channels? Perhaps it's Discovery Channel's
Heavy Rescue: 401, a new reality program that focuses on
the rescue vehicles, towing companies, and police officers who
spend even more time of this highway system than you do –
often working in dangerous conditions.
