> In 2001, Los Angeles County boasted 21,085 lane miles of maintained highways. In 2016, that number had not budged much, growing to only 21,826 lane miles. In the same period of time, the number of vehicle-miles traveled by Los Angeles commuters rose by some 10 million per day. Sloppy argumentation. Just becuase 10 million is a large number it does not mean the increase is more than the 3.5% increase in available lane miles.
