What winter is actually like in Ajax
Ajax is compact and almost entirely built up, so the winter problem here is rarely open-road drifting — it is congestion. Harwood Avenue and Westney Road carry heavy north-south traffic onto the 401, and when the highway backs up those arterials fill within minutes. A vehicle that stops with a flat on Harwood during the evening peak blocks a lane that has nowhere to go, which is why getting off the road matters more here than finding the perfect spot to stop.
