As much as I like the Lancaster exit (especially when heading from Laurier, where I take Bridgeport almost the whole way, then pop up the on-ramp and then stay in that lane to exit at Lancaster)... I have to agree, it could/should be removed and traffic could take the Bridgeport exit. As soon as you exit off the highway on the current ramp into Lancaster, you have to get 2 lanes to the left right away - and I've seen so many near misses here I can't tell you. There's a huge speed disparity too, since traffic on Lancaster is generally going 50-60 km/h, and people coming off the highway tend to still have "highway speed brain" mode on, so they're going 80-90 mm/h, trying to shoot across 2 lanes which also may or may not have cyclists there trying to go straight through. Then the light goes red and some dickhead tries to stay in the right lane to cut in as soon as it goes green.
