What a scam having to pay for roads that taxes already should have paid for

It's called a freeway, FREE-way. It's in the name. Nobody should have to pay a penny to use any lane. Our taxes already paid for those roads.

Carpool and toll lanes cause more traffic than they alleviate with novice drivers merging slowly across to enter and exit the lanes. Horrible idea.

Seems that at least a couple toll lane systems in Dallas are FAR better separated than practically anyone else who builds these inbetween the preexisting free lanes. “BuT iT’s ChEaPeR tO cOnStRu-“ Leaving any existing crappy, overwhelmed interchanges, weaves, and bottlenecks when expanding the road IN ANY WAY is just begging to be back to square one almost immediately after the final cones & barricades are removed. And so far, California seems hella hesitant on building better interchanges with the arterial roads. Google SPUIs & Diverging Diamonds (the latter likely doesn’t require expanding/replacing the existing bridge in the right circumstances)… they work; otherwise most states would’ve retired them not long after they first started building them.

This is completely false, people are already going in and out of lanes, having people get over to get out of traffic still helps. They should still turn all lanes into toll lanes though

Traffic is now much worse on this stretch of the 405 than before the widening. Crazy waste of money!

Imagine a fancy new restaurant opens up. It’s really expensive, but the service is great, so rich people happily pay it. But word gets out: any groups of 3 or more, plus veterans and disabled get to eat there … for FREE. Now imagine so many groups, veterans and disabled show up, that the wait times keep getting longer, and the service keeps getting slower. Now the rich folks are not so happy, wondering why they’re paying all this money for a restaurant that’s just like any other.

Anyone who thinks just adding more lanes to a freeway is going to fix the traffic is insane. The only sustainable solution is more efficient transportation

@@Snutz.D we literally do know though from real world examples in the US and abroad. The 401 in Ontario is America’s busiest highway, and also one of the widest. It still has tons of congestion. There are traffic studies on this, as well as empirical evidence around how making accessible transit reduces traffic, and how adding more lanes might work in the short term (a couple years *at most*) but traffic levels ultimately reach congestion levels again quickly. You can’t “add more lanes” your way out of traffic congestion; especially when 10 highway lanes have less throughput than a single metro line. And that’s theoretical; realistically it’s even worse when you add in congestion caused by highway entrances and exits.

@@Theffries "... and how adding more lanes might work in the short term (a couple years *at most*)". So, it does work. You said it yourself. It may not solve the problem in all locations, but there is no way you can tell me that adding lanes doesn't make traffic just a little bit less worse. If you convert a one lane road in rural Kentucky to a 10 lane road, you are telling me that the traffic will eventually be the same? It may not solve the problem, but it's improvement. That's like saying low bandwidth and high bandwidth produce the same internet speeds. Yes, improving public transit would help the situation; but, that is beside the point.

110, maybe. But not on 5, it doesn’t have enough lanes as is. It will be even more if they put in express lanes.
