I want to know why on some of them you turn left to go south and on others, you turn right. I want to know why they can't stick with one, basic plan and keep duplicating it.
By the sounds of what you've written so far, you just don't question anything the city does. Good for ewe. Baaaaa.

Yes 4X4 you're absolutely right, there is no reason why the interchanges at different roads should be different. For example, the Glenmore exit should be exactly the same as the 64th exit because they are exactly the same. Never mind that one is probably one of the busisest roads in the city while the other is at best a secondary commuter route. Oh and while one has huge ass hills on either side and the other is essentially at a river bottom probaly has nothing to do with it.
I love how you said not to lower your iq with reasons like grade and access being different, but if you are so naive to beleive that you can build whatever you want wherever you want and it won't be astronomically expensive then I guess those points are irrelevant.
Seriously dude, you have yet to show that you have one iota of knowledge other than "I drive in Calgary" to show why it is you think speed limits are too low. You say I don't understand the physics of a large hunk of moving metal, yet you apparently have no faith in the people who do that kind of stuff for a living. So please give me a single reason other that "I drive in Calgary and the speed limits are too low". Do I always agree with the city planners/engineers decisions (for example the shag/crowchild interchange)? No, but unlike you I'm not so stupid as to beleive that they do those things no other reason than that's what they felt like and the cops made them do it so they can write more tickets.
But hey, if you want to ignore logical arguements some more and tell me that I don't know how to drive and that I'm a sheep for understanding some of the engineering priciples that go into designing roads go right ahead, I suggest you now move on to mother jokes as that seems to be your best arguement for the way roads are built.
