How To Fix Traffic Forever

Recognize the phenomenon of induced demand: more lanes lead to more traffic.
Building more lanes will not solve traffic issues.
Self-driving cars could potentially increase traffic.
The solution is the reduction of road capacity and providing good alternatives.
Dedicating lanes to public transit and creating safe bike paths can increase road capacity and reduce traffic.
Induced demand works in reverse: the more you narrow the road, the less people will choose the car.
Planning cities for people and places instead of cars and traffic leads to less congestion.
Political courage is required to implement these measures.
