Only semi related, I'm super annoyed that popular culture seems to love the idea that adding more lanes to a road makes traffic worse. There's tons of problems with that idea, like the fact that it generally isn't true (but the surprising times it is true makes the news), or the fact that increasing capacity of a road obviously will make more people want to use that road vs the other roads who's capacity has not increased.
