More people are travelling to, from and around the North Shore for work each day. The North Shore has added more than twice as many jobs than working- age residents since 2011. This has resulted in more workers from elsewhere in the region commuting to work on the North Shore. The actual number of workers may be higher given fluctuations in construction-related traffic.
The increasing number of people travelling through the North Shore from Lions Bay, Squamish and other communities to get to work in other areas of Metro Vancouver, although comparatively small in number, further add to the high traffic volumes and delays.
Generally, delays are more pronounced at bridgeheads and in the afternoon rush hours. Travel reliability is further impacted by collisions and other incidents (e.g., road closures, weather, etc.).
