why does adding more traffic lanes doesn’t help to alleviate traffic congestion?
In: 26
Of course adding more lanes alleviates traffic. How on earth can people think that it doesn’t. Alleviated traffic leads to more people choosing to drive at any given time, but again more people are getting where they need to go per unit time.
Widening a 10 lane highway to 12 will NOT increase flow through by 20%, it will be significantly less. However, to argue that it wouldn’t increase flow through at all is nonsense.
