They suck and I hate them. The one at Balmoral is the worst, because I have a habit of going that way. I turn down the street, and then you are trapped, so you have to do an Austin Powers turn. They could at least put a sign up on 20th ave. It's also silly because they have traffic lights there, and another set at 16th, almost as if this was designed to be a route for people to use. It's a gird street system, it was designed to function as such. Now they've broken that. I don't really consider it "cut through traffic", it's people using a route for it's designed purpose. They may as well get rid of the lights on 16th and 20th, as all they do now is make people burn more gas.
