Don't look now, but you'll never make it from Buffalo to Toronto on Highway 401, because 401 doesn't come anywhere near Buffalo. The highway from Buffalo to Toronto is called the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). If you want to avoid traffic, drive it in the middle of the night, around 2 to 4 a.m. Morning and evening rush hours, from Hamilton to Toronto the QEW is more like a parking lot.
