Wouldn't fit.

It still largely accomplishes this, as the vast majority the traffic accessing it would be coming from WB Glenmore and not NB Stoney. More importantly, it is not required as Westhills Way can be accessed via Tsuut'ina Parkway (the previous exit) when it opens - but it's just a jurisdictional technicality that the Nation doesn't want this completed until there is corresponding development.

Not the fault of Alberta Transportation, they designed it correctly.

Spoiler!

It doesn't say north or south, it just says Macleod Trail, the implication being that the exit is for both directions. Once you exit, it then specifies the left lanes for Macleod Trail south/Lethbridge, or Macleod Trail north/City Centre to the right. That is how major junctions are signed everywhere else on both ring roads.

I am perhaps misunderstanding you.
