Fact: 90% of city planners quit one lane before they finally fix traffic for real!!!

Less lanes also means less people slingshotting across multiple lanes because they realized their next turn is on the other side of the road.

What's especially crazy about the money people spend on more lanes is they then turn around and say they don't have money for public transit.

it's certainly beautiful to see a city with people in it, and not just hundreds of cars and desolate buildings

Hello!! Transit planner for Arlington, Virginia here!! SO HAPPY to see us mentioned in this video!! Actually, when building the Arlington portion of the Washington DC metro system, the original plan was to run it in the median of interstate 66 in North Arlignton. The planners for Arlignton County actually convinced them to instead run it underground and underneath the local roads instead, and used the opportunity to begin it's aggressive transit oriented development that has made Arlington such a wonderful place to live. It's one of the few rare examples of planning done right in post-WW2 America. I live in Arlington completely car-free and it is cheap, convenient, and easy to do so!

I moved to within 1.5 miles of my job. I ride my bike daily. I live two blocks away from my best friend and two blocks away from a grocery store. It's wonderful

America does in fact have streets - they’re just better known as parking lots.

I always remind my friends that complain about being stuck in traffic, "You are never IN traffic, you always ARE traffic.". You and everyone else is on this road / highway because there aren't enough alternatives to get some of these drivers to take them.<br><br>Great video

The most baffling part is why two of those 10 lanes couldn't have been dedicated bus lanes. Literally put some barriers in between and markings there and increase the frequency of the bus service. Those things bypassing all the traffic jams could convince a lot of people.

We just need a lane for every individual car on the road
