89. “Metro areas that invested heavily in road
capacity expansion fared no better in easing
congestion than metro areas that did not.
Trends in congestion show that areas that
exhibited greater growth in lane capacity spent
roughly $22 billion more on road construction
than those that didn’t, yet ended up with
slightly higher congestion costs per person,
wasted fuel, and travel delay.”
-- Surface Transportation Policy Project,
Washington, DC
