I've driven through there lots in non-peak time and have hit all greens. I guess it's just how much of a priority is it. But I tell you, if we take the TCH to our place at Bridge Lake next summer instead of the Yellowhead I'll take the Adams Lake shortcut that pops you out at Barriere. Between the lights east of Kamloops and the ones on 5 leaving town getting through there in the peak of summer is a pain

I would love for those lights to be removed.
There are 7 at grade intersections there.
3 diamond interchanges (or even 2) could remove all of them. The road is already 4 lanes through there. If done the Trans Canada (with the Chase upgrades) would essentially become free flow from east of Chase all the way to the coast.
I swear those lights irk my OCD in that we essentially have a large near freeway stretch disconnected by the full freeway by only a couple KMs of lights.
