    Is that the drivers’ fault, or the highway engineers’ fault? Why isn’t the highway designed to handle anticipated traffic?

      Because as numerous studies have proven, there is no road design for individual cars that alleviates traffic. Period. The design doesn’t exist. Actually addressing traffic would involve severely reducing car lanes and vastly expanding public transit.

      Now, if you want to propose going after the car and oil companies that pushed car-centric development starting in the early 20th century and continued despite knowing climate change was real and that car centric development was a major contributor, I’m sure everyone in this group will agree with you.
