  5. Every driven down the Katy freeway in Texas? You haven’t? Your approach is what they did, and they ended up with a ridiculously wide highway, with longer travel times. Adding another lane does not work, due to induced demand. The only solution to induced demand, is working with transit modes that aren’t as prone to be affected. Trains and busses being examples.
