The problem with the government’s plan to build more highways, though, is that it doesn’t actually solve anything. The money is wasted because traffic only gets worse.

By the time anyone realizes a lane is needed you need 5 times as many lanes as you have to allow safe seperation between cars.

If at any point you need 5 additonal lanes, you don’t need lanes, you need different infrastructure

It isn’t 5 more lanes it is 5 times. So a exurb two lane freeway starting to become crowded needs to expand to ten lanes just for safety.
