So people are lined up out onto Deerfoot expecting to get onto Glenmore and you don't find out until you get in there, far beyond the point of no return.

Another thing I noticed today was all that construction on Memorial heading east. There's maybe a kilometer or more of the boulevard and the right hand shoulder under construction. Not even the road itself as far as I can tell, but they've blocked it off so you have one lane of traffic. In all that stretch of construction there was one guy working on the site. One effing guy. This was 3:00 in the afternoon on a week day. Why do they do this? They started the project, messed up the roads, then essentially abandoned it.
ha, no kidding. I'm convince that half of these "construction zones" are only there to catch speeders in them.
