The best solutions for drivers is less cars on the road. Is a scientific fact that more roads=more cars=things harder for drivers

I’ve heard all about induced demand and all that, but then look what happens when we lose a lane on the bqe- total chaos. Not sure I buy it

You're welcome to move to Houston or LA. They're paragons of car culture where everything is conveniently designed exclusively for cars. It's so much better for everyone.

Do you realize how fascist you sound telling me to leave here, leave my life and family behind because certain factors demand that I drive. Literally telling someone to leave because you don’t agree with an aspect of their lifestyle. So fucking self-righteous

Look man I'm just saying Houston is a car-centric paradise. Tons of highways in City limits, no cycling or pedestrian infrastructure, barely any public transport. And as a direct result there's no traffic there at all!

Getting called a fascist is so tired for trying to help you out.

What I DO know is that if you MUST drive...which I'll doubt just due to your complete refusal to elaborate...then having less people casually driving every time they want to go out will be a positive change for you.
