Dolts like the article author completely miss the point. Yes, the number of people on the road will increase as we add lanes, but that doesn't mean that adding more lanes is useless. More people are able to get where they want to go, that's a good thing.


Building alternative high-volume modes of transportation is more effective than building larger roads.

Adding more lanes is useless from a urban planing point of view because it doesn't alleviate congestion.
