I had a close call on that exact spot yesterday in my 10-ton work truck! I approached it extremely slow but when I needed to come to a complete stop, the truck kept moving and my a$$ end started shifting left! Traffic was passing by but luckily I stopped inches from entering 52nd. I was even wailing the air horn to warn the coming traffic.
Experiences like this help my patience when I see someone going a little slower than I see necessary. You can never be too careful in these conditions. Having said that, if you're not comfortable going a reasonable speed on Deerfoot, you should prob take an alternate route until conditions improve.
