They're still doing random stupid traffic control at Stoney and Deerfoot for no obvious reason. The night before last, I was excited on my drive home to find that two lanes on EB Stoney over top of Deerfoot and then under the WB-SB flyover had been opened, so that you didn't have to merge into traffic on EB Stoney so quickly after exiting from SB Deerfoot. Then, last night, all the pylons were moved again and the right lane was closed, with even less room to enter traffic than there was before, all with no evidence of any work on that part of Stoney that would support re-closing that lane right now.

Then, this morning, exiting WB Stoney on to NB Deerfoot, they've f'd that up again after having had a semi-decent solution for the last week or so of extending the right-most lane to make a reasonable merge for the traffic coming from both directions of Stoney. They've closed the right lane again and made it a yield. This morning when I left, the Mahoganites and Cranstonites were treating it as a stop and go alternating right-of-way when I got there instead of a yield. Again, there is no work evident on NB Deerfoot that would seem to justify shutting down the RH lane. (Although it is at least possible that they're going to be setting up to do some work later taday and just wanted to have it set up properly overnight, but I saw nothing going on at 7:30 that would support that idea)

Whoever is making those decisions needs to be fired and replaced with some with a bit of common sense.
