I've seen that exact scene in Atlanta trying to get to Alpharetta from 75 S by 675.

Alpharetta represent! Lol

I keep thinking this during my daily commute along a 3 lane freeway. If a bus/truck overtakes another bus/truck (often), it basically becomes a single lane freeway. And during peak, that little manoeuvre is going to cost you and hundreds of cars behind you, probably for a long time.

Just mandate work from home, that will fix it. Whoa COVID proved it works!

So many people commuting to jobs that could easily be done from home nowadays

I work in the freight industry in a position I can't do from home but when the whole work from home thing was in full swing I didn't get stuck in traffic except a few times when the local drawbridge went up

You know what would work just as well, but without isolating people?

Mixed zoning and mass rapid transit

Let people work walking distance to their home, give those who need to go somewhere a way of going there quicker than traffic

It'd also be good to mandate easy availability of work from home for anyone in a job where that is practical

Man I remember those days.. when a 10 mile drive would sometimes be a 1 hour drive.
