I personally think there a couple problems that compound upon each other to create the worst road on the planet.
The biggest thing, as stated above, is the idiots who think its their duty to do 99km/h in the left lane. Yes, we get it, you are a perfect citizen and I am a giant a$$hole in my gas guzzling big truck riding your ass.
The other thing is the terrible design of the road itself. I don't know if it was in the original concept to make it as non-straight as possible, but if it was they sure hit the mark. There also must have been a discount if the city bought more interchanges and placed them as close together as possible. Having one major interchange on-ramp basket weave directly into the off-ramp of another interchange 3 seconds down the road is mind boggling.
The ultimate though, is when these two factors combine into one giant cluster f of traffic madness. It's these boobs who merge onto Deerfoot and feel the need to instantly get into the left lane the moment the on ramp touches the freeway. Then they run into the off-going boobs who panic and brake because they can't get into the lane for the off ramp at the absolute starting point of the lane and think the world is coming to an end.
