Yeah. Alberta generally doesn't put 2 sets of shields up on the same stretch, even if it would actually help. It's a weird scenario with the W and SW legs built by different people at different times, and the west leg people will be putting their own signs onto the existing road once they're done. My deepest condolences that your family can't figure out where they're going but you might as well put away your thesaurus and wait and see what the final signs look like before writing novels. Confusing signage in interim construction stages is not a new thing.

Agreed, though I don't support it now as we'd be taking away the Stoney name from a road they've had named for them 20 years in the NW, and It'd be expensive to replace all those signs. Unfortunately we'd built most of the ring by 2013 when the deal was signed; prior to this we had no idea if the SW leg would even be going through Tsuut'ina, tunneled under the city, or repurposing existing roads in the city. My guess is that we'd have no interest in naming half the road after Tsuut'ina if we were never able to get a deal done with them. To some degree, life would just be simpler if everyone just called it 201... then you can name whatever section whatever you want and it generally wouldn't cause confusion.
