Reminds me also of nearby villages. So there is a kinda-former swamp. "Former" because some monarchic regent in the 18th century saw a bunch of land he reigned over where noone lived because the ground wants to swallow you. "Kinda" because it's still very, very wet there. The earth is also still quite black. Well, the thing is, you not only have to build a road but also drainage on both sides everywhere. Like hardcore drainage. So they did that. It's villages full of one road. The largest has 2 that meet in the middle in a roundabout.

I really appreciate the transparency at the end about almost saying "erection" for so much of the story.

It's not actually a quandry, and adding lanes does actually work. It's socialist disinfo that it doesn't which is based on a false concept (that the extra traffic that can end up causing the same rough time delays on a road after extra lanes are added materialises out of thin air). The issue actually isn't that adding lanes doesn't work it's that not enough lanes are added to accomodate the number of drivers who actually want to use a road, as at any point there's drivers who want to use a road but are unwilling to due to time constraints and an increase in road throughput will reduce the delay up to the point where they're willing to use it, which actually then increases the overall total delay back to roughly where it was but for any specific individual who is now using the road but who wasn't before the delay is now lower than it previously would have been. Or to put it more easy to understand, there's a road that takes 10 minutes to cross but can only fit 9 people on it, you have 10 drivers, for drivers 1-9 the journey would be 10 minutes but for driver 10 the journey would actually be 20 minutes, which is too long so he does not drive. If you add capacity for the 10th driver, then all drivers on the road now take 10 minutes so the overall delay does not seem to decrease, but the 10th driver now only has a 10 minute journey so now can drive and so has a higher quality of life.

@nabagaca

⁠@@jimmydesouza4375I don’t think people claim it doesn’t work, they claim it doesn’t work for long, because as you point out, adding lanes makes the road more attractive and encourages more people to use it, increasing the number of people using it, thus increasing the number of lanes needed for it to be attractive, etc. often what people advocate for is the availability of higher capacity alternative modes of transport, as eventually you get to a point where the number of lanes that would be needed to accommodate the potential drivers in an area becomes impractical (just ask Texas about the Katy Freeway)

@jimmydesouza4375

@@nabagaca No people claim it doesn't work. Also encouraging people to use it being a negative means you concede you're purposefully oppressing people for the sake of some ridiculous ideology. Sticking everyone on filthy public transport (which conveniently is completely controlled by govt). As for being impractical, everything is impractical, passenger rail is impossible to make money on so is a massive fiscal sink, busses are the same but to a lesser extent, walking and cycling limit mobility, etc. The idea that those alternate modes of transport are in any way better is conditioning. Building a mile of railway line, for example, costs approximately 100 million dollars. Absolutely impossible "theoretical minimums" are still around 40m per mile. Building a 6 lane highway costs around 5-10m per mile in rural areas and ~20m per mile in urban areas. For the same price as it takes to get a simple double track mile you can get 60 lanes of road, or 10 6 lane highways taking different routes to ease congestion that way. But you and many others are taught that you need to stuff everyone in to trains so that your mobility is controlled.

IDK if it's even possible to implement, but instead of roundabouts, could you make a left lane exit ramp that pulls a 180 degree spin and puts you right back onto the road in the opposite direction? That would probably make traffic flow a bit smoother. I imagine it does have a limit though, like roundabouts, before you get a traffic jam, but at least you don't have to sit around and wait for the next person to go around the roundabout.
