I constantly hear from coworkers that have moved here from any big city how traffic isn't a problem. They are always saying how easy everything is here in Springfield.

It would be a lot quicker if they just widened the major corridors.

Why? Most major veins are already 4 lane roads.

It never hurts to have an extra lane. You can fit more cars on the road that way, makes the lines shorter

To me that just sounds like unnecessary infrastructure, they should focus on making our current roads better (condition wise) and if people really wanna get organized? They should learn how to drive. My insurance is $295 dollars a month, no cool car, one accident on record which is listed as an act of god. My agent told me the reason mine is particularly high is because I’m a young driver and I live in springfield missouri. I’m from a city with 3-4 times the population, and even then I’ve seen as many accidents in 4 years here than I had in 16 years there.
