Somewhat unrelated question: Why is there a traffic light at Bailey Trail and St. Charles, two busy streets, instead of a roundabout? I go past there four times a week, all year long. There's never a backup. The backup occurs at BT & BV with people trying to get into that roundabout.
I do live north of 466 but I travel south of 466 and south of 466a all the time.

I have no idea why there is a light at the intersection of Bailey and St James but now that you mention it, it is a bit odd. I go through that intersection quite often as I have friends in that area. I wouldn't say that I've seen backups there, but I do often have to wait for the light.
