Where are these mythical big, fast, wide roads? Every road I know, no matter how wide, is slow. And making it wider doesn't help because of induced demand.

- jaredhallen 2y agoI'm not sure I buy the concept of induced demand. If you widen a road and it results in more traffic, that sounds like there was already more demand than supply.
- lostdog 2y agoInduced demand should really be called "insurmountable demand." If there's a million more people who would take a traffic-clogged freeway if it were moving at 6mph, then it will always be clogged with traffic.
- oblio 2y agoHave you read anything or watched anything about induced demand or did you just read the expression and figured it all out by yourself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za56H2BGamQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za56H2BGamQ
