Just because more roads are built doesn’t mean the traffic will run smoother.

The solution to traffic jams? Built bigger streets!

But bigger street need more space. More space means that parts of the cities are  cut apart and distancing them even further from each other. Plus nobody like living near a big highway and loads of pollution. So people move more to the countryside - pushing city boundaries even further apart and creating the need to for bigger streets to the outskirts.

Instead of making bigger cities - we need smaller ones, like old European ones with narrow streets and integrated neighborhoods (living, working, shopping and amusement in one area). Smaller distance means shorter travel time, you can maybe walk or cycle there.
