I bet it's close to 50%.
When they redid the Glenmore bridge, why did eastbound get two lanes from Crowchild to 14 street, but not westbound? That drives me nuts.

The 14street and crowchild overpasses are about a .5 Km too close for the volume they see and the traffic that is weaving.... not really the cities fault I guess and it was grandfathered over years and years through normal city evolution.
