Why is there seemingly consant construction on Stoney in the NW? Didn't they just build this like 3 years ago? Why wasn't whatever they need do done when first building it? Theres also some ridiculous lane endings and such that seem to me accidents waiting to happen? Why wasn't this thing made three lanes on both sides all the way around?
on sort of the same topic, the reflectors we use on roads are terrible. If the road is even the slightest bit damp, I don't know about anyone else but I can't see the lines for crap. Is there a problem with using the types of reflectors that actually come out of the road like the three round bumps, or the small thin ones that you just drive over? They seem to work much better in the places that I've seen them. The paint is brutal.
On a similar note, and I don't tink Nenshi has anything to do with this, but maybe he can help prop up the idea: How is there not street lights all along the QEII? I drove from EDM to CGY in what I would describe as pretty standard, clear, night winter conditions and the toughest part for me was seeing the road, and not because of the weather. For such a busy and accident-ridden highway, you'd think something like this would help.
