92% of shopping is done within 20 minutes of where someone lives.  Time not distance is the determining factor.

Increased congestion increases the amount of time a trip takes.

4.5 minutes per trip of extra congestion is the tipping point for economic harm.[/quote]

From your citations:  "While higher ADT per freeway lane appears to slow productivity growth, there is no evidence of congestion-induced travel delay impeding productivity growth. Results suggest that the strict policy focus on travel time savings may be misplaced and, instead, better outlooks for managing congestion’s economic drag lie in prioritising the economically most important trips (perhaps through road pricing) or in providing alternative travel capacity to enable access despite congestion."

This is an argument for increasing public transit, PP. [/quote]
