In addition to the problems with improvements to existing freeways, what is even more disturbing is that we've learned that every major freeway built in the last 20 years has opened to full capacity. During the freeway's construction period, the land at the proposed exits is developed by builders to maximum density. So that by the time it opens, there full grown suburbs tracking its path. In other words, new freeways beget more sprawl. To some extent new freeways do create new sprawl. But to a large extent development would happen anyway. The new freeway might not improve traffic much, but it keeps it from getting worse. Tim
