I'm on Queen everyday and it's looked like this at morning rush hour, afternoon rush hour, evening, mid-day etc.... no slowdowns whatsoever. That shouldn't surprise anyone since an urban traffic lane can carry 10,000 cars per day easily and Queen in this area carries less than 10,000 per day. Queen's busiest stretch is south of Charlton, and even there its only 12,000 per day. Only in Hamilton do we take 1-lane worth of traffic and build 30,000-40,000 road capacity to carry it.

For comparison sake, Upper James carries 32,000 per day at Mohawk. Main St carries 28,000 per day in front of city hall. In other words, Queen St would be able to handle the traffic on Main St at City Hall with no problems at all.
