It's not enough, but a few cities are taking some steps in the right direction. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DrunkEngineer@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) We added 30,511 new freeway lane-miles of road in the largest 100 urbanized areas between 1993 and 2017, an increase of 42 percent. That rate of freeway expansion significantly outstripped the 32 percent growth in population in those regions over the same time period. Yet this strategy has utterly failed to “solve” the problem at hand—delay is up in those urbanized areas by a staggering 144 percent. https://t4america.org/maps-tools/congestion-con/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Probably just need that one last name added and it'll finally pan out. permalink fedilink source parent [–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago In TX not only have they added highway, but many new highways are Toll roads. Somehow the city councils get duped with a presentation that building another lane on the highway won't help, but building two in the name of a private company will. They don't even take care of the toll roads as well as the public roads either. permalink fedilink source parent
