Numerous studies have determined that gridlock reduction cannot be achieved by increasing the capacity for motor vehicles to travel through our cities. More roads and more lanes just mean more cars in the same traffic jams.
What has proven successful is creating a mixed transport landscape, including mass transit and more compact single person transit like bicycles. In tandem with decentivising single occupancy car usage.
So, if the main purpose of this bill is to reduce gridlock, it's going against the bulk of publically accessable studies on transit optimization.
