It's a basic fact that every town planner knows; more roads means more traffic, more public transport means less traffic
-
This disgust me how these people can spend billions for the car but not for humans, trains, trams, buses, are for the human.
-
The US failure to invest in a decent rail infrastructure will make commuting unbearable as city populations grow.
-
Urban planners: You know, we messed up in America by centering the attention of our city planning on the car. It created city sprawl and highways cut neighborhoods and cities in half and..... Houston interrupts: MOAR HIGHWAYS AND ROADS!!! (Also doesn't mention public transportation once...)
-
Sadly, Houston still hasn't learned their lesson on urban sprawl The Interstate Freeway expansion will destroy: 4 religious buildings 2 schools 168 homes 1067 multi-family units and 331 businesses that employ 25k people

I lived in Houston for 38 years. Now I live in a place that doesn't require a car and I don't own a car. Life hasn't been so good without wasting my life in a car.
-
5:12 False. People don't want to drive. They're forced to drive because we've made so hard to walk, bike, or ride public transit from A to B.
-
Have none of these people ever heard of a train?
-
What is Texas' fascination with highways?! Try rail or bus rapid transit.
-
Its already impressive, how the freeway infrastructure in Houston is, adding more freeways in the city is going to deteriorate that image. Why don't the Texas governments don't even talk about light rail/ metros?
-
This is what NOT learning from the LA area's mistakes looks like. Houston needs to start building high-capacity, high-frequency rail and or metro NOW. Cities in Australia half the size of Houston are doing a far better job. Texan governments obviously don't believe in the proven theory of "induced demand" when it comes to highways.
-
Can’t wait for this project to be a brand new lesson in Induced Demand!
-
3:05 Is there a city here? Or just concrete?
-
The city needs to focus more on dealing with flooding issues. Put the money there!!!! Priorities first!!!!
-
TXDot really has some brain dead “city planners”. Why tf would the solution to congestion be to smash two highways together? If you want less congestion why not spread the traffic around? Now instead of some people going to one highway and the others going to a different one, you have all those people trying to get onto one “superhighway” using the same roads to get there. Or, you know…you could give people different options other than driving.
-
Houston needs more rail lines like they have here in Dallas Fort Worth. End of story
-
if you make everything sprawl, public transportations don't work. you need compact and dense zones to make public transports work. if you stop people having homes too big for them, cars too big for them, then you could make healthy compact and dense centers and low traffic. better for the environment, etc, better air, lower commute stress, etc.
-
I haven't noticed where more highway equals less traffic, maybe the opposite if anything.
-
INVEST IN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!!!!!!!
-
We need a train
