Well, the road design would be fine if it didn't go from 80 on Crowchild to 30 over the bridge with a bottleneck of people merging off Mt. Royal Gate immediately before, then back to 80. Course, there isn't much they could do better with the space they have.

I know exactly what you mean- and I would like to point out that the speed limit sign on the flyover from Crow south to Glenmore east is yellow...meaning that the 30 km/hr is suggested, not the law. You can take the turn at 90 if you want. It drives me CRAZY that people don't know the difference between a yellow speed limit sign and the white speed limit signs. Yellow= suggestion, white=law.

I know that the merge lane is longer, but to be totally technical, if you're coming off Crow south onto Glenmore east, you will still be forced to exit onto 14th street south if you can't get over- the lanes from the Crow flyover become the exit lanes for 14th Street. And, if you're stuck behind someone going 30 km/hr, you have no hope of getting up to speed in time and getting over. I realize there are limits on how wide the road can be because it's a causeway, but having at least one through lane from crowchild flyover onto glenmore would have made things considerably easier, IMO.
