Would have been nice if the entire section had a depressed grass median. Only two sections within have same. In addition, back in September, MoT agreed to a Hwy 1 overpass at Pritchard with on/off ramps:

Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Blair Lekstrom committed Tuesday to building improvements at Pritchard that will allow residents to safely enter and cross the Trans-Canada Highway.
Ron Anderson, a village councillor from Chase, was one of a number of local politicians who met with Minister Blair Lekstrom at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual meeting in Vancouver. The goal was to pressure the province to design safety improvements at Pritchard, as part of four-laning of the Trans-Canada Highway, so that residents no longer have to cross without an underpass or overpass.
"This will solve problems with people trying to get across the highway," said Anderson.
Pritchard residents warned four-laning the highway without provision for safe crossing will make an already unsafe situation worse.
