I agree on KPs assessment of the approaches - this is the biggest issue. Change to electronic payment like highway 407 in Toronto (pic of plate, bill mailed). Fix the spaghetti on the Mackay Halifax side (that Mackay to Robie merge is brutal).
Traffic modelling at Dal has shown that an HOV lane on the old bridge doesn't work, that the down side is SO bad it kills the bridge traffic in teh remaining 2 lanes.
I think there is a good argument that roundabouts at Windsor Street exchange and Macdonald bridge at Wyse road would help keep traffic from backing up on the bridges.
