that's def not typical. I've driven that area many times over the years during rush hour. Here is the typical 4:30pm traffic for a Wed eve along that corridor:

I'm with you re: centre turn lanes. They are among the biggest space wasters in the city. Left turns at stop-lights makes sense, but these unused centre lanes aren't needed.

I'd prefer us start building our streets like every other single proper city and add transit lanes city-wide. Narrowing the traffic lanes on Stonechurch and removing the centre lane would free up 2 lanes worth of space I'm willing to bet. Transit/HOV lanes would be the thing to add in, but we know what council will think of that idea.

EDIT: it appears Google defaults to the current live traffic on the map. Click 'typical traffic' at the bottom for the entire week.
