Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts

[Markster]

Historically traffic from Alpine onto Homer Watson backed up a lot (as far back as the Kia dealership in extreme cases) in the mornings, because the stretch of Ottawa from Alpine to Homer Watson would be completely full (often going as far back as Strausberg). Most of the traffic was to get onto the highway, which was on the other side of Homer Watson.

With the changes to how the highway is accessed and exited and the switch to roundabouts it seems like traffic flows a lot more smoothly from Alpine, but I've avoided the roundabouts when biking and the 11 doesn't go that way currently.

It's really interesting, to wonder how many people will choose to use the Alpine access to the highway. Volume on the Ottawa ramp will go down for sure.
