> Reducing the surface area of roads does not magically remove cars from the roads, it just creates congestion and traffic. Most traffic theory maintains that this actually does magically reduce traffic. People who would have driven now decide that there's too much traffic and find another way. Similarly, expanding highways doesn't reduce congestion, the number of cars just increases to the previous levels of congestion.
