you can see it's red, for no logical reason other than perhaps the fear people turning EB 24th to NB Crowchild driving like morons who shouldn't have a license. |
Looking again the big thing they achieved with the last iteration is 4 through lanes on NB Crowchild (maybe somebody already said this?) - the merge lane essentially became the 4th through lane. 33% more capacity on the main route.
Considering the ongoing investment to improve flow from the south it's a sensible idea to open the final cork in the bottle as much as possible. That demand isn't going to induce itself, afterall.
I'd love to see them try the converging dual turning lanes though, as long as they put up a webcam for us to enjoy the inevitable carnage.
