Reply to comment by Square-Dragonfruit76 in Why do we keep on increasing the number of roads even though statistically more roads create even more traffic? by [deleted]

This is not true. Other than adding capacity for safety and transit, like bus-only and HOV lanes, there has not been a meaningful increase in roadway capacity in more than 40 years.
