I think it's a reasonable question to ask. When the shortcuts get overloaded, they will implement some kind of measures to disincentivize it. This is distinctly different than the Cranston situation, where the plan from day 0 in the 1950s was for access to adjacent neighbourhoods to be secondary to overall efficiency of the road. WB Glenmore to SB Stoney is a critical movement between two of the busiest roads in the country frankly, and it is served by an undersized loop.
In other news, I'm hearing a couple Cadillac Blackwings set a sub-40 minute laptime last night... that requires an average speed of 155 kph.
