Building more lanes and highways will NOT ease congestion. All it does is induce demand for more cars on the road. There have been research and studies already made on this. If you want to reduce congestion, you have to offer more efficient alternative modes of transportation. That means investing in PUBLIC TRANSIT and even BIKE LANES. It is MORE EFFICIENT to transport 100 people on 1 train than 100 people in 100 cars. Since most cars on the road are single occupants, 100 bikes takes up LESS SPACE than 100 cars.

You can also reduce traffic by encouraging policies such as WORK FROM HOME. Most office workers can just do their work from home. There's really no reason for them to be commuting and adding to the traffic. Traffic SPIKED the moment RTO was introduced.

This bill just shows poor urban planning and poor understanding of economics. Do better.
