My guess, is that they changed those lights over the past month or so, and just when Sept hit the volume passed the critical point to create severe traffic problems.

Thanks. That makes a little sense.
They've had a cop car at the intersection of 162nd and MacLeod northbound the last few mornings - never happened before - handing out tickets to people who've been travelling the inside curb on MacLeod to get to the eastbound turn onto 162nd.
This has been a developing habit for lots of folks over the last year since the right turn lane should easily be a quarter mile further down the road to handle the volume coming off 22X/Marquis of Lorne necessary.
So, suddenly backed up traffic, more people trying that = cop cars trying to force people back into the road way.
I got up late today and parked aways from the office this a.m., walking the final five minutes it would have taken 20 minutes to drive.
Unless I start getting up at 5:30 a.m., the future is not looking good. Can't wait for the first snow storm!!!
