I still don't get everyone's line of thinking here and why the engineers should be fired. What is a better solution than traffic lights here? This post is illogical without presentation of an alternative. Spoiler alert: traffic lights are the best solution, given the aforementioned constraint of being unable to construct a direct ramp from WB Glenmore/Stoney to NB 69 St due to the existence of Westhills Way. Even with the loop ramp to make the weave as long as possible the minimum weave distance there was waived. I'm not saying everything on the ring roads is designed 100% optimally but when something appears to be an absolutely blatant and cheap solution and isn't built that way, then it probably isn't a blatant and cheap solution...
Yeah, nobody is getting fired for what was undoubtedly an absurd number of man hours pouring over that to find the optimal design given the constraints.
