The mayor of Kingston has called on the province to invest in the construction of additional lanes and other safety measures to improve the condition of the busy Highway 401 in eastern Ontario.

On April, the Kingston City Council called on the Ministry of Transport and Environment to "consider additional safety measures, including banning vehicles carrying hazardous materials when the weather becomes bad ".
The bill is the latest in a series of municipal complaints filed with the province following a major crash in a busy corridor.
"The fact that we are regional centers for Kingston means, yes, that if major accidents happen frequently, we get stuck, even if the accident happens on or off the highway, "Patterson said.
