I used to live in Marda Loop and cut through Mount Royal once in a while to and from work. After they put in those traffic circles I always went through Mount Royal. They are much faster than a four way stop. Going through there was much faster for me than driving down 17th ave and then going south on 14th St.
I don't know who was sniffing glue when they thought this would eliminate some of the traffic through. Was it Madelline King or whatever her name is? It's actually kind of fun to drive though Mount Royal. Nice big trees, no stopping & crazy houses to look at. I talked to someone who lives there and he hates them. Hard to feel sorry for him though. His house is like a mansion.
The larger traffic cirlcles are a different story. Leave those for Edmonton.
