The cost of expanding freeways is like 3x any possible benefit when you neglect all the damage cars do and consider only the land value. #noMoreFreeways #inducedDemand #CarsRuinCities

The amount of money local governments spend on putting in and ripping out infrastructure boggles my mind.
"The council said the proposed changes would “introduce expanded capacity for vehicles travelling towards the town centre” and “pave the way” for an already-approved new bus lane on London […]

Screengrab of the last paragraph of an article by Marissa MacWhirter in The Herald, published 21 February 2026, on the severe problems facing - and caused by - the M8 motorway in Glasgow. The article concludes: "Nearly a decade on from the extension, traffic levels have nearly returned to pre-pandemic levels, and congestion is once again just part of the M8 experience. When you add capacity to busy urban roads, vehicle-kilometres travelled rise to meet the new space, especially where congestion is already a problem. Such is the Iron Law of Congestion – when you expand motorways, traffic increases to match the new space."
👏 A real detailed history of the motorway, its impacts, limitations & partial extension in the mid-2010s: it's especially good to see a piece in a broadsheet end with this vital point on the reality of #InducedDemand
"When you add capacity to busy urban roads, vehicle-kilometres travelled rise" 🚗🚗🚗

Tiny islands like Barbados (and several other Caribbean islands) need to pay attention to #publictransit and #activetravel! It's terribly inefficient to build roads to accommodate more and more personal vehicles. Don't fall into the #InducedDemand trap! #MobilityIsEquity

It’s the very definition of #InducedDemand, and once people have started driving in, it’s hard to change their behaviour back.

#triMet board member calls out #Oregon state #transportation dept #trafficEngineers for clinging to disproven pseudoscience Level of Service aka V/C in #E82ndAve planning. #InducedDemand couched in the "safety" concerns about cars backing-up on the freeway offramps. #Portland metro will never be […]

No trains to/from Fife this week. Hearing stories of full buses and passengers left at bus stops. Huge delays due to increased private car traffic too.
It’s almost as if the solution to traffic congestion was better public transport and active travel #induceddemand

Won't even. #induceddemand will simply get more people off transit and the 407 back onto the 401.

Why do we design freeways for peak commute time, parking lots for black Friday, but not plan traffic calming and filtering based on car traffic at school dropoff or pickup times? #SchoolStreets #BanCars #InducedDemand

For over a century traffic Engineers have pulled a number out of their ass about how many cars there would be in 20yrs and never even been proven correct despite #InduceDemand filling as many lanes as they keep building.

Yep, it's called #InducedDemand
Add more lanes to a road and you get more vehicles and more congestion!
Add more cycle lanes, low traffic neighbourhoods, #activetravel infrastructure and you get more cyclists = less vehicles.

Great line on #InducedDemand from @trafficintowns.bsky.social
“…any new road cut through a densely developed area will, as a drain cut across a sodden field fills with water, attract enough vehicles to justify its existence in terms of flow.”

#InducedDemand, the Fundamental law of traffic congestion that has been repeatedly proven and unrefuted for 70 years, says that everything most highway agencies are doing is a complete waste of time and money, but 🙉 they just keep doing it 🛣️ 🙈💸 just one more lane will fix it bro!! […]

But first, policymakers have to embrace a new, holistic vision for transportation, and stop building senseless roads.

Like I've said, #InducedDemand works in both directions on all modes. If you make biking, walking, and transit as normal, easy, and convenient as driving, more people will do it. If every bike lane is a door zone and completely vanishes before the end of the block, they won't […]

This is absolutely disgraceful. How can we get rid of this government before 2030? Any ideas?

"Piispansillan itäramppien puuttuminen lisää liikennettä muun muassa Nelikkotiellä" Tässä annetaan olettaa, että liikenne vähenisi rakentamalla lisää ramppeja autoille. #induceddemand

Last week I went on to Information Morning to share some thoughts on the Kenaston widening. We need a plan that looks to the future rather than being mired in the past. #winnipeg #induceddemand youtu.be/kFaM7Mowz8M?...

Is this new road the solution to traffic jams in Sandyford?
Construction starts this week on the "Junction 14 Link Road" in Sandyford Business District.
