[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's absurd the beltway is only four lanes wide in each direction. The current design was for a region with a population 1/3 of what we have now, but we expect the road to handle it. Ridiculous. It should be at least 6 lanes in each direction [/quote] Please cite a single example of road widening that solved a congestion issue. Hint: you can't because it has never happened. Understand induced demand. The only way to improve mobility in the region is to improve mass transit. Single occupancy vehicles is one of the worst plagues to be cast on our built environment.[/quote] Yes, we should all live in high density housing and take Metro everywhere tbh, I'm fine with that but good luck telling my committed suburbanite wife this ...[/quote]
