Your first question makes sense, and is a good example of simple poor planning on Deerfoot. However keep in mind you had originally asked why they weren't all the same, and you got an answer to that.
On your second point, I asked that question and got a response from the department of highways; as Deerfoot is a provincial road not a city one. They indicated the increased weave lanes were put in place as a temporary measure to ease some of the burden, and a permanent solution is in the works. Apparently it has to do with the city and province taking over the Lafarge land.
The third question is one that just baffles me though. Not only is it a detour of at least 2 km, during times of flooding it is unavailable to be used.
