Induced Traffic Demand

Every single person who drives has directly experienced that no matter how many highways you build, no matter how many lanes you add, they ALWAYS become congested. They always, quite quickly, end up over capacity, or way way over capacity.

None the less, too many people, who ought to have noticed that this does not work, will try to solve traffic congestion and shorten trip times by building more highways and more lanes, which inevitably causes more congestion.

It ought not to be necessary to repeatedly explain induced traffic demand, to anyone who has witnessed it with EVERY highway expansion that ever happened.

FFS. More roads, more highways, more lanes will always make traffic worse. It is as inevitable as gravity.
