Highway 401 is the busiest highway in the world, and has a very impressive cross-section through Mississauga, Ontario, Canada at 18 lanes wide. Add another 4 lanes for exiting/entering traffic, another 10 lanes for paved shoulders, 3 concrete berries, advanced digital signing, great lighting and drainage systems, and other safety features.
Oppose Poor color depth (this could be corrected), a lot of noise, low resolution, good enough for encyclopedia, but not up to the standards of other featured pictures

Comment I have added an edit with colour enhanced. It's an interesting photo, but i would still like it to be larger, with less noise.

Support. I'm willing to forgive the noise because this picture really does a good job of illustrating the most important features of this highway (namely, that it's got a lot of lanes and that it's congested). Since I assume that the picture was taken from some sort of aircraft, I don't know how replicable the shot is.

Support The colour enhansement that
Chris_huh made add a lot of extra detail to the image. The photo was taken on a cloudy day, which would explain the extra noise in the image. Excellent editing job
Chris_huh!

Support. I'm allowed to vote as the uploader of this GFDL image, right? If not, then disregard. I think this image is good, but the edit by Chris_huh is also quite good. Either are worthy of being "Featured Pictures". :) RingtailedFox •

Oppose Going against the crowd on this one. It's a picture of a road, there shouldn't be quality issues. More specificly, the sky at top should be properly exposed, there shouldn't be heavy noise, it should be 3 times the size. The lighting should be more interesting than it is (unsaturated hazey light). Other than that fine, I love the composition. -

Oppose Me too. Techincal problems aplenty, poor lighting, not compelling or striking enough for FP, for all its high enc value. mikaultalk11:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)reply
I have deleted the image as a copyright violation. It's a copy from a flickr image with 'all rights reserved' indicated and no attempt has been made by the uploader to explain why he considers it to be under the GFDL. I'm also going to delete the edit as equally infringing. Nice work, but sorry we can't keep it.
