Recent example of modern, free flow in both ways interchanges:

Stoney/Deerfoot

Stoney/16th Ave (east) - Stoney/Glenmore (east) will be very similar.

Deerfoot/22x - will be done as part of the SE ring road
I noticed the 1st and 2nd ones still have an on-ramp and off-ramp in quick succession, although not quite a weave zone because it's a single lane segregated from the traffic going straight. Is that why they're considered "modern" designs? Couldn't you do the same thing with a full cloverleaf, no extra structures required? Would it then also be considered "modern"?
