But in either case, I find that Google and Waze tend to underestimate the time it takes to drive places especially in traffic. I would rather both say I'll arrive there at 7:10 and actually arrive at 7:05 than the other way around.

Yah I dunno I don't use any of that stuff. I know pretty much every major corner of Metro Vancouver and how to get there so just go. And the places I frequent I've done so enough to estimate accurately in my head.
My wife uses our Garmin GPS and I find it over estimates. So it will always tell you the planned time of arrival is later than you actually get there. We don't pay for the traffic service so I believe it just takes speed limits into account and nobody drives the speed limit or under here so you always go a bit quicker.
Regardless I think the perception is that 17A is quicker to the ferries than going to the SFPR though I think that is largely up to both (a) perception and (b) if you hit a green light at Ladner Trunk. Hit the red light there and you sit for 3-4 minutes easy.
