I do maintain that 60 there is unreasonably slow there though. I can't recall the last time I've seen a pedestrian there and the somewhat dangerous yield that existed from EB 114th to SB Barlow is now controlled by a light, so what are we doing here? This is a three lane road in both directions separated by a median and you are trying to connect a road with a limit of 100 (Deerfoot) with a road with a limit of 70 (Barlow).

Yeah, it has been like that for years (I drive through it every day), but you're totally right that it's weirdly slow. That thing is like a strobe light catching people some days.
My biggest grievance with it was I was once side by side with this SRT8 Jeep at the red light there. They were revving at me and I wanted to take them down so bad, but I wasn't sure if I'd be speeding before I left the intersection. Still irks me they think they won and that was at least a year ago. I think about that race every time I drive through there. Wish I just stomped on it and hoped for the best from the camera.
