Needs are three:
1. Ring Road, as Cowperson mentions.
2. Better interchanges. Especially at the weave zones. It boggles my mind that for all the money they spent on Deerfoot Meadows, which included upgrades to the southland exit, that they didn't include building a merge ramp from Southland to Deerfoot Southbound over the exit ramp on Anderson/Bow Bottom. That alone would have taken away half of that bottleneck.
3. Modified red light camera boxes used as photo radar placed every 5km up Deerfoot, with cameras in random spots. While it wouldnt lead to many tickets (too many cars), it would scare some drivers into slowing down to the limit.
