I barely ever drive (I've only driven to Tsawwassen once since the SFPR opened) so could you guys explain what you mean by punishing drivers heading through Ladner? The one time I did go to Tsawwassen, I got lost on the way back, because it didn't seem logical that I had to exit to keep going straight back home. I stayed on the road and ended up having to loop around via Highway 99. Is this what you guys mean?

The light at 17A and Trunk Road has been timed to make North/South traffic wait longer.

It was considered making 17A one lane south of Trunk Road.
The Deltaport way ramps were reconfigured to be low speed (this is somewhat justifiable because trucks shouldn't be taking 17A).
Finally, widening the highway for 2 km but leaving a very deliberate gap at the end so traffic has to merge.
