Why Traffic Never Gets Better

Every city keeps building more lanes, more highways, more interchanges — and traffic keeps getting worse. Why? In this video, we break down the counterintuitive science behind traffic congestion: why widening roads almost never fixes the problem, why "induced demand" makes things worse, and what a handful of cities have actually done to make their commutes better (spoiler: it's not building more roads). If you've ever sat in traffic wondering "didn't they just widen this road?" — this video is for you. 👍 Like this video if it finally explains why your commute never improves 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into how cities (don't) work 💬 Comment: What's the worst traffic you've ever sat in? #Traffic #UrbanPlanning #InducedDemand #CityPlanning #Commute
