Signage is the big challenge of collector/distributor lanes, because you have to somehow fit 3 or 4 different things on the same sign. Deerfoot in a few years will have the same signage issues as I said.
The solution is simple and already exists elsewhere on Stoney, northbound over the Elbow River after the 90 Ave interchange:
So what I'd have like to see is 2 copies of ground signs, one before Country Hills Blvd and one after, saying "For Scenic Acres and Tuscany Blvd, follow Crowchild Trail". Boom, no overhead sign mods required and you actually tell people where to exit for Tuscany Blvd, and much cheaper than cantilever signs that hang over the road. |
Had the pleasure of using part of it, coming off Crowchild and into Tuscany. There were a few confused drivers on Stoney slamming on their brakes and trying to figure out how to navigate the now closed exit.
