Currently the traffic lights at 162nd act as a "meter", only allowing a certain number of cars through at a time, and allowing the cars going onto Stoney/22X to clear out before the next batch comes through.
A good example of this is on Deerfoot when they removed the traffic lights at 130th and then Douglasdale. Granted there were fewer people in the SE at that time, but prior to that there was never really a NB problem in the morning at Anderson/Southland. There was a SB problem in the afternoon; similar to what we see today.
Once the lights were removed at Douglasdale, the metering stopped and traffic reached a pinch point that had never existed before.
