The problem with the government’s plan to build more highways, though, is that it doesn’t actually solve anything. The money is wasted because traffic only gets worse.

      Under the original lane for 100x the cost?

        Don’t worry bro it’ll only take 15 years for a 10km stretch and cost double what we estimated

      Every time I hear, “just one more lane,” this video starts playing in my head.

        Each possible origin needs a road to each possible destination. No intersections, no traffic, problem solved!

      By the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.

        If at any point you need 5 additonal lanes, you don’t need lanes, you need different infrastructure

          It isn’t 5 more lanes it is 5 times. So a exurb two lane freeway starting to become crowded needs to expand to ten lanes just for safety.
