Travelling NB (actual east) on Ottawa in that section, there are two streets people are stopping to turn left at (Hickson & Crosby), two lights (Midland & rear Stanley Park Mall entrance), and the other mall entrance and entrance to Petro Can. That's quite a bit of activity in such a short section of road. Also, people often take the right lane at River to jump the queue continuing on Ottawa, which causes further back up to drivers turning right.
When I'm coming home from Waterloo on the expressway, I find it easier to take 8 to Fairway then get off at Ottawa; even with King and Fairway in the mix.
This area has been a pet peeve of mine for some time. I think I mentioned it years ago on Wonderful Waterloo.
