In my community, I started seeing photo radar on a roadway bordering a school zone after 8 pm, in the middle of February, with temperatures below -20, and not even near to the playground equipment, enforcing the 30 km/h school/playground zone that technically goes until 9 pm. Between the time of...

I haven't seen people going [straight] through the intersections per se, but I see a lot of drivers running reds for protected left turns.

Looking at aerial photos might not be the best method, but to your point I think more traffic passed through the Glenmore/Elbow/5 St (known as 'GE5' when the interchanges were constructed) than Crowchild & Kensington. It's harder get traffic counts from 20+ years ago, but according to this...

"Medium Term " was defined as 10+ years back in 2017. Considering that's a section that should have been done right the first time over 50 years ago, they'll probably go with the +.

Looks like the funding went to adding extra/new structures to the Anderson/Bow Bottom interchange instead.

I agree that 6 through lanes + merge lanes probably doesn't fit on the existing overpass over Deerfoot, but there are also significant issues with backups at the signals at 4 St NW, Centre St, and Edmonton Tr. While not ideal, an initial phase could be McKnight/JLB could be widened to 6 lanes...

With north Calgary lacking some good E-W crosstown routes, I'd like to see John Laurie & McKnight Boulevards widened to 6 lanes between Shaganappi & Deerfoot Trails. As for QE2, I agree that those level crossings should be removed. I've noticed that some of road name signs have been taken down...

In Canada, being litigious would be more influential in "safety improvements" than actual capital improvements to the roadway. We'd probably end up with additional signage, a lower speed limit, extended areas of no passing, and additional closures during more inclement conditions - but not a...

BC is working on it....but it's still progressing quite slowly. Even with the Kicking Horse Canyon, there was about a 10 year hiatus between Phases 3 and 4. I feel that for a highway with national importance, it shouldn't fall solely on the BC provincial government to improve it (outside...

Petition to twin the Trans Canada Highway though Yoho National Park: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-5111.

Plus the fact that Glenmore is currently the only E-W crosstown route that's (almost) free flowing inside ring road. The ROW exists in Foothills Industrial for interchanges, so it theoretically could be Calgary's equivalent to Edmonton's Whitemud Drive. Personally I'd like to see Hwy 1 moved...

The issue has always been lack of space due to the Lafarge cement plant. From a traffic volume perspective, a NB --> WB loop would probably be sufficient, but there's no room so they would have to squeeze in a flyover instead. Considering that around the time that Deerfoot Trail was...

I think there's always been a multi-phase approach to the Deerfoot/Glenmore interchange. The initial improvements are twinning the bridge to get rid of the 2-lane squeeze, as already outlined; while the ultimate improvements are building WB --> NB and NB --> WB flyovers, C/D lanes on Glenmore Tr...

I was curious if had the link to this available?

It might have to do with municipal-provincial jurisdiction. Crowchild Trail is under City jurisdiction in Calgary, but west of 12 Mile Coulee Road it's a provincial highway (Hwy 1A) so the province would be responsible for constructing an interchange. One of the articles indicated the province...
