It is fine the vast majority of the time, it's just that when the backup happens, it builds quickly. In all honesty, it is not that bad compared to other locations (e.g. Eastbound Glenmore @ Deerfoot) but what also makes it bad is that the line-up is in the center lane, so it also creates issues with traffic trying to get off to Sarcee or on from 37th etc..
Probably heartbreaking for those deep SW commuters who thought they'd had that "life changing" improvement to their commute to downtown, only to see it gradually evaporate.
