What happened to creating government policy based on data rather than vibes?
Gridlock is not solved by adding more single occupancy vehicle lanes, gridlock is solved by re-designing our cities so that the vehicles that NEED to be there can move smoothly, and the people who do not need to drive are enabled by bike lanes, public transit, and safe sidewalks to get to where they need to go. The purpose of our transportation infrastructure is to move PEOPLE, not just cars.
Please, could some policy makers look up Induced Demand and read about how adding lanes to roads makes congestion worse.
Remember, every cyclist in a bike lane is one fewer car ahead of you blocking the lane while trying to turn left during rush hour.
