I believe Sammy's point is that there's a lot of volume making that movement, and that there would be quite the traffic backlog if they all needed to make the left turn.
Really the solution in this area is to just add the 1km worth of 3-laning to the highway. Bring a third lane from the 4 lane section through to the Bridgeport ramps. That would give the highway a chance to taper-down/open-up over a longer distance, minimizing the impact of any particular bottleneck.
The MTO only works in megaprojects though, so it's either 4 lanes all the way to King, or nothing.
