Chinook Centre, to Northland Village Mall, 15.8 kms, 20 minutes in the AM, 15 minutes return trip in the PM. Going against traffic both ways. The only place I ever seem to get held up anymore is at Kensington road, and if that happens, I just shoot down Memorial to Shagannapi trail.
Living through the whole Glenmore/Elbow rebuild was hell, but now, it's awesome. Aside from a couple on insignifigant ones going south on Elbow, there is only 3 traffic lights between me and my destination.
Plus figuring out e right lane combos has managed to shave off a few minutes. So many dumbasses, stay in the far right lane between 14th street and Crowchild North coming of the 14th st offramp, and sit there in bumper to bumper for 10 minutes, while the left lane is usually wide open. Same goes for Bow and crowchild offramp. Merging is not that difficult folks, and most people will opt to let you in if you just commit. What is the alternative? Getting side rammed?
