    wow the highway back then seems so peaceful. No trucks, no traffic between Mavis and Erin Mills.

      There was no Mavis yet then. Ended at Britannia.

    Reminds me of my childhood. There is little to no traffic and the Mavis exit is non existent. We took the Erin Mills/Mississauga exit to go home for Streetsville.

      The Mavis exit is at about 4:35, where the 401 starts to go downhill.

    The extension of the express lanes of 401 from 410 to Mississauga Road weren't around until 2014.

    Nice video. I remember the highway lights would end at Hwy 10 at night you would drive into darkness if you were going further.

      The lighting ended at McLaughlin Rd. actually.

    I'd completely forgotten that you had to keep right to stay on the 401 at the 403/410 interchange back then! Heading left took you south down the 403, man. Now it's completely the opposite.
