    I have the problem that I give off a vibe as an onlooker. I’m not trying to be judgmental but I guess I ooze it.

    Edit: Your case makes me chuckle. I used to love watching IT struggle because I got rid of default desktop and quick launch icons. Finally we have all learned to search.

    Can you summarize the gist of it? I keep seeing this claim and it is extremely non-intuitive.

    Supposing it’s true, how is it we’ve magically arrived at the optimal number of lanes as of the uttering of the statement?

    If it’s a basically linear function where the lowest traffic is near-zero lanes, is there an implication that mass transit would be built in tandem with lane reduction, or does everyone just get more miserable?

    Edit: I’ll add that what I’ve heard is that more people choose to drive until the misery-equilibrium is reached. So roads will always be as busy as they are now because they are at their max tolerable level of drivability. That seems plausible for some roads and for some finite number of lanes, but not generally applicable.
