In that case, people on Deerfoot who want to go to 32nd have to slam on their brakes to get down to the 60km/h that the traffic in that lane is moving, which in turn slows down the right lane on Deerfoot. Then, you also have all the people who are stuck going 60 behind that idiot try to get around him which causes additional dangerous lane changes.

I totally agree with this post. That feeder lane is so long, there should be no excuse for cars not to be up to the 100KM/H mark by about 3 quarters of the way before it even opens up to Deerfoot. It GMFG when some timid driver in front goes 60KM/H on there, screwing everyone behind them over.
