I drove the interchange on 162nd yesterday. It was late at night so no one was around, so I didn't really have an issue with delays. But it will probably take some time to get used to, especially if you are new to the city. Also pretty sad was that the police announced on the news this morning basically begging people not to be texting or distracted when driving this new interchange. Pretty sad that this even has to be mentioned...
I'm also a bit surprised that some posters here are shocked that the free flowing traffic is only for N/S Mcleod. Pretty much every major interchange in Calgary is like that now. The main artery is free flowing and the lesser ones ALWAYS have lights. I don't like it either, but it should come as absolutely no surprise it was done this way. The days of big huge cloverleafs with no lights are long past when it comes to these new construction projects.
