The Glenmore Trail section between 37th and 14th Street needs a redesign to accommodate the high volume of traffic. The city is currently collecting data, but it's unclear when any changes will be implemented.

One issue contributing to the congestion is the prevalence of drivers following GPS directions without verifying the route beforehand. I recall a similar experience where Google Maps suggested a sudden merge, but upon reviewing the route, I realized the merge occurred much further down the road.

The lane merge onto Glenmore is particularly hazardous because drivers often fail to notice that the right two lanes become 14th Street. This can lead to last-minute lane changes, resulting in frequent collisions.

It's likely that drivers who merge early are attempting to avoid the potential chaos that can arise when drivers follow GPS directions without being aware of the actual lane configuration.

The real issue is the inconsistent speed of drivers who slow down for the curve after the lanes split to Glenmore and 14 Street. If drivers maintained a consistent speed, there would be ample room for cars to merge along the bridge.

As a frequent driver on this route, I've found that the far left and far right lanes are the safest options when passing or taking the Glenmore/14th turn. I've noticed that the speed limit on Glenmore is 80 km/h, and drivers who adhere to this speed seem to have a smoother experience.

This situation is better described as a weave zone. In a weave zone, it's essential to match your speed with the traffic on either side. By doing so, you can identify the optimal moment to change lanes and avoid potential collisions.
