On the Sarcee Interchange, I can't see for the life of me how its more cost effective to put lights on a brand new interchange rather than complete the full cloverleaf design..

You can't see how a couple of traffic lights are cheaper then a couple of long flyover bridges?
They don't build old style cloverleaf interchanges for a reason. They create unsafe traffic flows and don't handle as much traffic before traffic comes to a standstill as these new designs.
Barlow/16th Ave is the only full cloverleaf interchange left in this city, and it only works because there's not a lot of "left turn" activity, AND the interchange is HUGE.
