Just one more lane bro and we fix traffic, trust me.

That actually works. It’s like your healthcare system, those who pay the most get the best service

I think people downvoting this didn’t spot the sarcasm.
Induced demand is a myth. https://www.cato.org/blog/debunking-induced-demand-myth
Adding more lanes does improve throughput even if congestion is still a problem.
But that’s literally what induced demand is. More lanes might mean more throughput but it’s still jammed because more people make the decision to use that road. Wow.
More throughout is the goal, and you admit this is achieved, but still claim there’s no reason to expand. Wow indeed.
Oh good. This is gonna be just like reddit. Things that are literally decades old.
Isn’t reddit content just a reflection of people, and people also exist on this platform
well…stop that.
You aren’t stuck on Reddit. You are the Reddit.
Oh…oh God…
Did you expect people would really change compared to how they acted on Reddit?
What’s wrong with this post?
I hoped :(
So did I, but I absolutely did not expect internet culture to radically change.
I was more hoping a certain type wouldn’t make the jump.
Be the traffic you want to become.
Ahh, the Lemmy meme.
You aren’t shitposting in Lemmy, you ARE the Lemmy!
You are the shitpost in Lemmy!
You are shit
No man, I am the shit
What happens after you shit?
The shit shits so shit squared I guess
We do not live in a society. We are a society. 😔
And you can actively choose to better or worsen society, just like you can choose to better or worsen traffic. Vote for legislation to improve public transit. #fuckcars
You aren’t in an orgy. You are the orgy.
Where orgy?
Can’t get there, too much traffic.
So then what’s happening when I drive and there’s no traffic? Am I nothing???!
Youre never “nothing”… youre always something special! I promise :)
Example: when there is no traffic, youre still a noise & particulate generator that lowers property values, warms our planet, and makes the built environment more hostile/dangerous and depressing for everyone nearby.
Whew thank god. Who cares if I’m ruining everything as long as I exist!
Okay, how do I get to my job then without encountering all of the passive aggression? Lol. Maybe car haters should be attacking the systems that made it impossible to live within walking distance of our places of employment: capitalism, city zoning, and substandard wages for a start. Otherwise, you’re just complaining about the rain when you should have been pulling out an umbrella.
Completely agree! Its why in addition to making relatively lighthearted insults on the internet, i actually advocate for such changes by regularly attending government meetings and contacting my elected representatives.
Hell, just this week, i participated in a meeting to change my city’s zoning code to allow more density, wrote to all of my representatives (granted this week, my email to them was about the lack of worker protections associated with PTO…) and researched all the agenda items for the upcoming city development and transportation meetings.
If there is anything im missing that would help advocate for such changes, im all ears! No really… i actually enjoy going to these meetings as dull as that sounds and would love to know more! Its been kind of an emerging hobby for me lol.
Its the dryest and dullest thing ever, but for some reason, ive been really into that! As a perk, the people watching at such meetings is amazing. Id love for more people to experience the wonders that is a local government meeting.
The traffic is stuck in the traffic🚦
Mix powdered traffic into your traffic.
More traffic per traffic.
You were watching Not Just Bikes in the shower?
You don’t?
mmm yes, the traffic is made out of traffic
“I’m stuck in traffic” implies they aren’t part of it but that it is something that is happening to them.
You’re not stuck in it, you are it.
Been working remote since onset of pandemic. Never going back to the office bro. Couldn’t pay me enough to share the roads with the rest of the grinders.
So many hours wasted in traffic.
Meanwhile i quite enjoyed my commute to school on a 20-30 minute bus, it’s quite unparalleled to begin your day gazing out the windows at a foggy morning countryside.
I hated it in high school. I just hated waking up early af. Was so glad to get a car and license. Then come college, I loved it again. Getting a parking permit, going into traffic with other people was a pain.
Moved to a place that was near a college bus route, never had to get a parking permit or get into traffic. Take the bus and relax.

There is not not enough parking, there are too many cars
There’s plenty of parking on the highway
This is a Bill Burr bit.
