The trouble with Deerfoot trail, at least in the North, is that in several places the on ramps are connected to the off ramps. For example people merging onto Deerfoot from Beddington Trail have to fight the people trying to merge to the exit on 64th. The same thing happens between 64th and McKnight, McKnight and 32nd, 32nd and 16th, and again between 16th and Memorial.
Who ever planned to allow people to merge to the left and right at the same time is an idiot. Traffic slows to a crawl because people are too inconsiderate to let others merge.
In any case, it takes 10-15 minutes for us to get downtown when traffic is flowing smoothly and 30-45 when it is not.
Please people, let others merge and leave a buffer zone between you and the car in front of you. A buffer zone means that you won't have to slam on your breaks as much and traffic will flow more smoothly.
