Are there any websites that give directions in walking time for Canada?

60 mph = two miles and walking 15 minute miles = 30 minutes.

30 mph = one mile and a 15 minute walk.

Can't tell without knowing how fast the car is going. A good rule of thumb is ten minutes per kilometer unless you are walking at a leisurely rate, in which case use the rule of 15 minutes per kilometer.

city dring spped is ~25mph.
a brisk wlk is about five mph
so, the2min drive time becomes two 25/5 or ten min walk

sorry, do not know of any interactive walking map sites.

No idea, but I propose you to compute yourself:
usually, average driving speed in town is taken as 40 mph, then considering your walking speed is 4mph, you may want to multiply given time by 10. you'll walk 20 minutes for the way you drive two min.:

A person in good health, on a path where you not have to stop lots caused by obstructions, other people, cross walks etc. can do a four mph rate without jogging or running. Solidiers most likely march a bit faster.

Speed when driving depends on if you're on an open highway with speed bound like 60 mhp, or if you're in traffic jam where you go one car length in ten minutes.

So figure out what speed you driving at, and do simplie division with my figure of four miles an hour for someone doing a brisk walk, or two miles an hour for someone just meandering along.

It depends on how fast you drive, in Canada or anywhere else.

Well, if I drive 150mph for two minutes, that is going to take a while to walk. If I drive 0.01mph for two minutes, it will not be so bad. Now if I walk at a rate of 150mph, then I'll be able to keep up with the 1st example in my answer and will overtake the second car in my answer.

Not enough info to properly answer this question. have to know how fast the car is going in that two minute span and how fast you're walking also.
