Weird title, seeing as how the article states that bigger roads do not make traffic worse, it stays the same:

>> New roads will create new drivers, resulting in the intensity of traffic staying the same

Good point. And it's still not completely clear that the roads are keeping up with the growth vs pulling it in. There were a couple of good points around larger interstate type services picking your town for HQ if you have extra capacity but in general it still seems too abstract.

Car traffic is harmful, so having more of it is bad.
