Calgary traffic
I'm flying into YYC on Thursday a little after 2pm to spend a week in Banff and Jasper ^ and have a question about going through (or around) Calgary. In order to be the most efficient with our $ and to avoid the credit card conversion fees, we're both going to hit up Scotiabank ATMs to our daily limit the first couple days that we're there. That being said I see that there's one Scotiabank ATM in downtown Calgary near 16th Ave, which is on the route out to Banff, and there's another on Country Hills Blvd, just northwest of the airport, which google maps then shows the most efficient routing as taking that west to the 201, and then south to the Trans Canada Hwy, thereby avoiding downtown Calgary.
Considering that after getting the rental car and getting on our way that it will be around 3pm, from a traffic perspective, which route would be better to take? We live in Atlanta, so we're used to bad traffic, but would prefer not to sit in it on our time off!
Thanks in advance!
