    I mean… I had written something about 5 extra lanes… then I got stuck wondering if that was per-side, and decided to solve my mental conundrum with an Elon Musk joke…

    It’s cool though, we can put a 5 lane elevated bikeway in the middle… that’ll fix it 😉

      Friend, the only solution to traffic is fewer cars and better alternatives to driving.

        But I mean, congestion usually has a place where it begins, adding more lanes behind it makes 0 sense. Or perhaps removing lanes would make more sense, as then cars wouldn’t have to merge in such big numbers.

        In reality, the answer is trains. Tracks everywhere, and very frequent runs.
