Talk:Detroit–Windsor tunnel

Untitled
The toll for passenger autos in both US and CAN dollars should be given, just as it is for the Ambassador Bridge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.199.134.34 (talk • contribs) 17:02, May 21, 2007
 * Just did it. According to the website, it's $3.75 in both currencies. Eco84 | Talk 03:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you walk the tunnel? --Jdeboer 22:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

No, you cannot walk the tunnel - or the Ambassador Bridge for that matter. However, the annual Detroit Free Press marathon route passes through the tunnel (which at that time is closed to vehicle traffic). (24.114.255.83 16:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC))

"partially submerged"
"The Detroit–Windsor Tunnel is a partially submerged highway tunnel" as opposed to what? Why is "partially submerged" used instead of simply saying submerged or underwater? Why partially? Just keep the wording simple. --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:30, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Second busiest crossing?
Is it the second busiest combined crossing, or the second busiest commercial crossing? The Peace Bridge is the busiest passenger traffic crossing between Canada and the US but is third for commercial traffic after the Ambassador Bridge and the tunnel. Based on available data for the Peace Bridge and the cited traffic for the tunnel in the article the total average daily combined traffic for the Peace Bridge beat the tunnel by a few thousand. So which is it? Are updated numbers available? 2001:470:1D:B66:1116:1B96:20DD:FFA5 (talk) 21:02, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

"Highway" Tunnel?
Why is this being called a highway tunnel? I'm not sure about the Windsor side, but the tunnel is not a part of any highway (local, state, or federal) on the American side. Is the actual tunnel designated a highway on the Windsor side? Just because it may connect two highways doesn't make it a designated highway, itself. --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:05, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

How many vehicles?
Referring to year 2010, the source cited in footnote #1 says the tunnel saw 1,177,520 vehicles in the first 4 months of the year. Annualized and broken down by 365 days, that works out to about 9700 vehicles per day. The introduction to the Wiki article says 13,000 a day.

Later in the Wiki article (section "traffic and tolls"), it is stated that 6650 vehicles used the tunnel each day in 2012. The article cited in footnote 5 confirms this data.

Laying aside whether traffic dropped about 40% in just two years(*), there are still tremendous internal discrepancies between the numbers in the Wiki article, as well as between the number in the Wiki article vs. footnote 1's source material.

(*) A Windsor Star article in 2012 confirms a severe drop between 2006 and 2012, although it shows only a 30% decline. The article also reveals an annual traffic count in 2012 of 10,575 vehicles per day based on the first 6 months of the year. http://blogs.windsorstar.com/news/bermuda-company-takes-control-of-tunnels-detroit-side
