Can someone explain with the "extra" entrances (circled in red below) to the Homer Watson/Ottawa Alpine/Ottawa roundabouts are for?
In my limited use of these roundabouts I have found that traffic gets backed up in them. For example, travelling SB on Homer-Watson there are so many vehicles coming WB across Ottawa, and cars coming WB from NB Homer-Watson, and cars that go WB on Ottawa from SB Homer-Watson the usual way, that vehicles using this cheater lane can't merge.
Maybe it will function better when 100% complete and the whole region has had a few month's practice.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
