That was the first thing I noticed when I checked it out on Sunday, the huge width is very... stark. It really sets this road apart from any other I can think of in the province. It reminds me somewhat of parts of the interstates in the US; I'm thinking specifically of parts of I-17 in Arizona, and I-81 in Virginia, where the median splits quite wide. But usually they do so for a geographic reason, to go around a hill or a forest or whatever. The southwest ring road seems so bizarre by comparison because from a boots-on-the-ground perspective there's no obvious reason to make the median anywhere near as wide as it is.
I was also impressed at how busy the Costco was; the parking lot was completely full.
