The problem is not new at all. In particular, traffic across pretty much the entire Metro Vancouver is like that.
Another case in point is Metrotown. Kingsway as we know it is already fxxked. The Willingdon & Beresford intersection is horrible -- Beresford was designed to be a low traffic side street with just a stop sign, and the traffic light is at the Central Blvd intersection. But now because there are 2 or 3 high rises built along Beresford (& Silver & Telford), cars are constantly coming out of Beresford trying to get somewhere. And then there are cars coming from the north side on Willingdon trying to left turn into Beresford as well. Add in the Metrotown skytrain station construction, and you have a traffic nightmare even at 8 or 9pm at night.
