Edmonton AB - Yellowhead Trail left turns

According to a City Traffic Report, the left turn bays off Yellowhead are now closed at 64 St and 68 St. I assume that means no left turns are allowed there anymore.

At 64 St, the turn just went to a parking lot that is not on the Waze map, so there’s nothing to do there.

But at 68 St, a Level 5 needs to disable the turn from westbound Yellowhead to southbound 68 St.

One thing that’s unclear is whether you can still turn left from 68 St northbound to Yellowhead westbound? That is, have they blocked the crossing of the median completely? I don’t drive by that spot myself very often.

Looking at StreetView, you never could turn left from 68 St NB. You might have been able to drive around the median, but there was (is?) a sign forbidding the left turn.

So… that connector road between the two Yellowhead directions has been removed. :slight_smile:
