Not true, Deerfoot was designed to handle a certain City population. Since then the City has grown much higher than the Road Capacity.

Calgary has made lots of improvements to help with rush hour problems....

- Removed the Lights// added Overpasses

- Fixed the Barlow intersection

- Beddington intersection was worked on. (still a problem)

However there is problem area's which need to be explored. Such as Glenmore area which decreases to two lanes.
