Once the ring road opens, you'll be able to exit 16th Ave at Sarcee and drive all the way south to 22X on the same road, but its name will change from Sarcee to Tsuut'ina once you go south of Glenmore.

North of the interchange the road is Sarcee Trail
South of the interchange it is Tsuu tina Trail
West of the interchange it is Stoney Trail
East of the interchange it is Glenmore Trail
I suppose that all makes sense and is kind of neat. I'm all for acknowledging the Tsuut'ina land, but I do also like the idea of the entire ring road having the same name. But I agree it does get complicated when you have a number of major roads connecting in that manner.
