General Road and Highway Discussion

[tomh009]

I use the expressway to commute to the office when I'm not working from home. I can 100% say these ramps WOULD NOT BE MISSED for anyone who is not getting off at Lancaster. The weaving these create is the only reason that there is any southbound congestion on highway 85. Without it in place the highway would have sufficient capacity, the only issue is variance of speed when drivers are entering/exiting the highway at this location that causes a butterfly effect.

Even if you get off at Lancaster, you can get off at Bridgeport instead (avoids the congested stretch between Bridgeport and Lancaster); continuing to Lancaster from there is quick and easy, might take a couple of minutes more, maybe.

Or use the Bruce St (between Victoria and Frederick) ramp, which is also not a big detour, depending on your destination. The three exits are really very close to each other.
