17th Ave SE WB right before Stony (between Stony and 84th) the lanes are very irregular, and the line they painted isn't very visible so everyone follows some other lane marker (or none at all). Every single time I'm in the right lane there I have someone either cut me off, almost crash into me so I have to slam on my brakes or eat a pylon, or honk at me because they can't figure out that the two lanes still exist even if they aren't very well marked. Dangerous for anyone wanting to go 17th Ave SE WB to Stony NB.
I know what you mean. 22X westbound under McKenzie Lake Dr. is a Sh**show. It's three lanes leading up to the underpass then the lane markings kind of straggle and peter out, then there's a bunch pylons placed in what would be the middle of the inside lane, then about 100m farther along, the third lane magically reappears...

Between the mentally challenged traffic control on 52nd, the failure to put signs up before changing the exits (I too had to do a uturn on 22x the other day because of the new Eastbound exit which was not signed), and these lane markings that are actually dangerous (in my opinion), the contractor has done a simply terrible job of traffic control on this leg.
