I don't know about the rest of the EU, but for Germany at least, your assumption is dangerously wrong. As the party at fault in an accident, you are on the hook for the total amount of damages, no caps or limits, in cases of negligence

If there is an increase in traffic after you have expanded the highway, you are going in the right direction. If it is levelling off, you have gone far enough. Then congestion will reduce. The argument that more roads do attract more cars j
