That is a lot of ability to move goods, services and people around without having to travel on city streets.

I’m being picky here biff and I don’t mean to be crass
But To be fair to esquire I think he meant fully free flowing of which Deerfoot and Stoney trail really are the only ones
Glenmore, crowchild have (in some cases) multiple points of intersections, highway 1 aka 16th ave is smaller than portage in the middle and it’s not fair to call a fully free flowing freeway, as there are plenty of lights along the route,
and highway 2 in Calgary
is Deerfoot. Did you mean another one of Shaganappi? McLeod trail? McKnight? John Laurie? Country hills? Beddington? Sarcee? Southland? Blackfoot? Barlow? Bow? Etc etc yes Calgary has an absolute ton of “bishop grandin” road ways but in terms of free flowing from one end to another without a traffic light in sight, I don’t think other than Stoney and Deerfoot I can recal a major roadway in the city that didn’t eventually have a traffic light
Could winnipeg do with less lights and more interchanges along the busy suburban roads?
Absolutely
