It would be relatively easy from a cost and design standpoint - the province owns the right-of-way and acceleration and deceleration lanes aren't very expensive. Just close the very small access points and focus the RIRO-style interchanges on the larger cross roads. There are currently enough interchanges/stoplights to provide complete access for most motorists within a reasonable driving distance.

I agree. This would improve traffic flow on the Perimeter and save lives. We need to get people away from the mentality that every podunk road needs full access to high speed, high volume highways... if Manitoba Infrastructure started to run the 401 in Ontario today, then tomorrow you'd be seeing new intersections with gravel roads on it.
