Here's why more highway lanes won't solve our traffic problem.
Traffic and congestion have been worsening in American cities for decades.In 2019, before the pandemic, traffic snarls cost the average American nearly 100 hours and nearly $1,400.
Highway traffic eased through 2020 and 2021, during the worst of the pandemic, but now it's back. What's more, the post-Covid world might be presenting new challenges, such as an increase in traffic in the suburbs, with changing driving patterns of hybrid workers.What to do about it has divided opinion across the country. Some experts say cities need more of everything: widened roads, more public transit, and better urban design and planning.
Some economists, for example, argue that congestion pricing is the only way to reduce traffic. But that route is politically controversial. Although experts say it has been successfully implemented in cities like London and Singapore, it has encountered some resistance in American population centers like New York City.
