Default Circumnavigating Calgary
Someone tell me the fastest way around/through Calgary in morning rush?

Staying over in Strathmore, so it would put us right in rush hour getting to Calgary. I imagine following #1 {16th ave.} would be packed. Take 201 north and go around?

Thanks

I would think Stony trail would be the fastest way in rush hour. Its generally not too busy. But watch for speed traps on the NW end of it. Non rush hour its faster to come through town, which road would depend on what direction you're heading.

A west heading. So that would be the 201 then. Turn north on it @ junction of 16/trans. and Stoney Trail.

Thanks guys. Thats the way I will go around.

If it was me I would take 817 to 564 to Stoney and around back to #1 or just take #1 to Stoney. But either way Stoney will be faster, rush hour or not.

Calgary traffic ain't so bad, though it will get worse as the city is growing. At least it's still moving even during rush hour.

I'm pretty anti-Calgary. I lived there for a short time, and would never do it again. It's an awful city and I don't understand why so many people live there. Edmonton is the better city in Alberta I think.

I lived in Burnaby for awhile too...much better than Calgary.

I'm not a huge fan of Saskatoon mostly because the river is too dirty to swim in (imo) and the landscape is nonexistent. I'm from BC...I belong in nature!!!
