A SPUI Traffic Light Set-Up
Here you see an unusual set-up.When the existing 200th ST 2 lane overpass was replaced with a new 6 lane overpass a 5 years ago which crosses over the #1 (401 freeway), some brainiacs decided to remove the clover leaf design for an overpass with a intersection in the middle,so they could develop the surrounding land.(roll @@)

Reminds me a little bit of this setup that I've seen on Hwy. 406 here. Is by any chance the new interchange that replace the cloverleaf a SPUI which is a interchange where there's a intersection in the middle of the overpass.

Interesting that BC has a Hwy. 401 too, we also have a 401 here in Ontario and it's the longest and busiest freeway here.

Yes that's correct,the new interchange is a SPUI.

Here's a view of the interchange . This pic is from a few years ago,you can see some of the old cloverleaf.

Yes the 401 or Highway 1 is the Trans Canada Highway, which goes across the country from the East to West Coasts. Here's a map that shows the route the #1 / 401 takes through B.C.
