Editor: Congratulations to South Fraser Perimeter Road project director Geoff Freer for the completion of a well-designed, under-built highway.
The SFPR is a pleasure to drive providing you're not in a hurry and especially true if you aren't heading to the George Massey Tunnel.
The speed limit is way too low. When did 80 km/h become a highway speed? When driving at that speed I'm virtually blown off the road by most drivers doing 100 to 120 km/h. The speed cops are having a field day.
Taking this route from Tsawwassen to the tunnel just doesn't save me any time as drivers are funneled into a single lane choked by the frustrated drivers from Ladner who also have their own single lane to struggle through.
Yes, it's a pretty two-lane twister of a road that at best is a secondary road.
Oh yes, thank you so much for those seven additional bottlenecks you added in the form of lighted intersections. Really ensures traffic will crawl along.
Since the government has already spent a billon or so on this road already, how about burning another hundred or so million and get rid of those irrational intersections and reinstate the dual merge lanes for Ladner drivers heading into the tunnel and remove the barriers from the new Highway 99-SFPR merge point to permit Tsawwassen drivers to access the middle lane heading into the tunnel.
