Southbound Crowchild to Eastbound 16th Avenue: getting rid of that short little mergy yield nonsense as you join 16th is an improvement - now you join 16th in your own, new lane.
And Westbound 16th going North on Crowchild: Previously you'd have to do the Banff Trail thing and then wait, but getting directly onto Crowchild by the Denny's is really nice. And again - a new lane!
I'm not sure why that took decades to figure out. Relatively minor tweaks with big improvements to traffic flow.
And I suppose that's where it becomes related to the 24th Avenue intersection. More continuous lanes on Crowchild at the expense of a controlled merge on 24th. I'll take that trade off for the net benefit.

When I did the second GDL road test years ago they took me to the southbound crowchild / eastbound 16th ave mergey yield.
Good thing they cancelled the second road test otherwise what confusing place would driving tests take you as a 'gotcha'?
