Expansion of a highway will make traffic worse?
In order to reduce traffic congestion, more highway lanes have been built, but the reality is not as good as expected.
A new report from the U.S. Department of Transportation shows that between 1993 and 2017, the largest urban area in the United States added 30,511 miles of new lanes, an increase of 42%, which is a faster than population growth. Growth rate, the population of these cities increased by 32% during the same period.
But in those 24 years, traffic congestion has not improved at all.
Even in cities with relatively low population growth, expanding the highway network cannot reduce traffic congestion.
This means that the government has spent billions of dollars, and the end result is that Americans waste more time on highways and emit exhaust gases from cars that warm the climate and pollute the environment.
The reason is that when the government builds more highways, urban residents will also start to choose more to drive and re-clog the streets.
Before that, people would choose to take buses, subways, bicycles, etc., but when driving became faster and more convenient, the speed became faster, the prices became cheaper, and people became more comfortable with cars.
Along with this, the traffic flow has increased, the government has expanded the highway, and a new vicious circle has begun.
The final recommendations of the report are:
To really reduce traffic, officials must consider ways to improve the way people meet their daily needs in work, education, healthcare, grocery, entertainment, and more.
This means improving accessibility between destinations first, rather than considering how congested the highway is and how much time delays it causes. In simple terms, it means prioritizing highway maintenance over expansion.

On March 11, 1960, Space Explorer Pioneer 5 launched.
The Pioneer Program is a series of unmanned planetary exploration missions in the United States. The “pioneer” implies that the United States wants to become a space pioneer and take a leap. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and the pioneer’s exploration is not smooth. In 1958, the Pioneer 0 launched and exploded after 77 seconds of launch. In the same year, the Pioneer 1 was launched again. Although the launch was successful, it failed to complete the mission close to the moon due to the flameout during the launch. It wasn’t until Pioneer 4 that the mission was completed for the first time. The Pioneer 5 mission was to measure the magnetic field distribution in the cosmic space between Earth and Venus, and finally complete the mission smoothly.
The most famous missions of the Pioneer Program are Pioneer 10 (launched in 1972) and 11 (launched in 1973). Pioneer 10 was the first aircraft to cross the asteroid belt and observe Jupiter up close. Pioneer 11 not only visited Jupiter, but also approached Saturn before leaving the solar system. Both detectors carry gold-plated aluminum plates of human information, depicting images of men and women, and the location of the Milky Way in the earth, trying to reveal human information to outer space. In 1977, the Pioneer No. 10 announced his retirement. Pioneer 11 is now heading towards the center of the galaxy.
