Tim, on the contrary, the new roads attract more cars and density increases quickly on them.

I've heard that theory before and I think its BS if by it you mean that building roads increases traffic density. Sure the density might go up anyway as the number of cars goes up and the new roads fail to match the increase but the traffic density increase would have gone up more without the new roads.

Tim, first its not BS............its scientific fact, and no, I will not provide a link. You will have to trust me.

Secondly, you must not have understood what I wrote........during the developmental stages of the highway, developers come in and start to develop the land adjacent to the new road. By the time the new road is opened, what was once rural has been developed, causing the freeway to be close to full capacity if not at full capacity when it opens for traffic. The concept is not rocket science and not hard to grasp.........unless of course, you don't want to.
