The region and country is quickly returning to pre-pandemic travel. Additionally, deferred maintenance projects, new funding for infrastructure projects (and new roads in general), and temporary detours will all complicate matters.

The only way we'll get out of a transportation nightmare is by incentivizing and providing non-personal vehicle transportation options to the general public. Trains, busses, bike paths (preferably protected paths at that) are the only way out of this road-based hellscape.
