Not a provincial road so can't blame AB trans, but a while back someone asked why the new Glenmore interchanges yet again have non continuous lanes. This was rebuked as being neccesary due to the distance between on and offramps, however this is at least partially incorrect. Having taken a closer look at it recently, the road is designed such that travelling westbound, a lane opens up on the left, then further down the lane on the right is taken away. Why? They would have been better off not adding and dropping that lane, it achieves nothing other than discontinuity and means there is only one through lane.

This diagram from the city actually contradicts this, showing that the lane on the left is the one that is eliminated. Maybe the contractor marking the lanes screwed up. Regardless, we now have the situation that a driver travelling west on Glenmore in the right lane is forced to make an unnecessary lane change, and this gives further evidence to me that road designers here do not care one bit about lane discipline.
