Wikipedia says this about the 401:

It is one of the world's busiest highways;[6] a 2019 analysis stated the 
annual average daily traffic (AADT) count between Renforth Drive and 
Highway 427 in Toronto was at 450,300,[1] while a second study estimates 
that over 500,000 vehicles travel that section on some days.[5] This 
makes it North America's busiest roadway, surpassing the Santa Monica 
Freeway in Los Angeles and I-75 in Atlanta.[7][11]
