Solving traffic problems seems nearly impossible in the US as people will get on the roads and drive until gridlock stops them.
But in my experience places like NYC (Manhattan in particular) have done a fairly successful job of allowing people to opt out from the traffic problem by using public transit, walking, or uber/taxi instead. A lot of other cities could play catch up there.
