I'm not at all pissed off, I just fundamentally disagree that it's the exact same mistake. It's a multi-lane collector/distributor, a configuration that does not exist anywhere else on Deerfoot. What I think you're comparing it to is the weaves on SB Deerfoot at McKnight or Glenmore, but those are single lane configurations and far more prone to failure.

6 interchanges on Deerfoot are identical. They are parclo A4; couple others are slight variations of it. This is Alberta's interchange of choice in the urban environment as they represent a good balance between safety, cost and capacity and all behave in a similar fashion. Nearly every service interchange on Stoney and Henday are parclo A4 unless there's some specific reason it wouldn't work there. It's like copy/paste.

No feathers ruffled; to my knowledge there is no immediate plan, but I simply believe this to be a result of the existing configuration being higher capacity than you're giving it credit for, as opposed to oversight.
