Even if the length of the cars end-to-end is often greater than the length of craggy narrow street between tightly packed but unevenly placed intersections with anywhere from 3 to 8 entry points? Even when all of the 5 highways people are trying to enter and exit– all within the same mile– are all completely backed up? I'd have to see that to believe it.

- chefandy 3y agoThe majority of the roads that aren't highways do not have lanes. The road layout is largely from a hundred or two years before cars existed.

- shkkmo 3y agoSo the point you were trying to make is that single land roads don't face traffic issues from merges and lane changes? That seems to trivially be false in my experience. Having driving all over the USA on roads with a single lane in each direction, merges and lane changes are by far the biggest cause of traffic slow downs.
