Due to rapid growth during the 1950s, traffic congestion became a critical issue facing Dallas. In response, city planners and the Dallas Citizens Traffic Commission worked to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently; their efforts are documented in this film. The Dallas Citizens Traffic Commission was formed in 1936 and, by the 1950s, included citizens from every Dallas civic organization. Their mission was to improve traffic safety and efficiency for Dallas citizens. Film produced by the Dallas Citizens Traffic Commission, property of the Dallas Municipal Archives." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leAKXcaLDd4 1955

The Cushing+Bridge is a little like a typical narrow 4 lane bridge in backwards Vancouver. However, unlike Vancouver, Calgary built a 2 lane bus-bridge next to the 4 lane Cushing+Bridge. This is how properly dedicated bus lanes can be built next to an existing narrow BC type bridge.
Calgary is the biggest city in Western Canada. Vancouver is a small city in area and has less than a million people. However, Greater Vancouver and the BC Lower_Mainland, almost has more people than Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg combined.

A 4 track freight train set of bridges in Calgary is no problem, but in Vancouver and the metropolitan region, most of the freight train bridges still only have a single track. By now the Greater Vancouver region should have double track freight bridges and double track commuter train bridges.

Edmonton as a capital city is so much larger than backwater provincial Victoria, BC. In some ways, Edmonton has even exceeded what's allowed in very restrictive Vancouver.
