What Causes Highway Traffic? We Explain.

(Excerpt)

So – what causes traffic? It can generally be broken down into 6 categories.

1. The standardization of the American work schedule. People who commute typically work 9 to 5. They get on the highway at eight… and here’s the thing: highways were not meant for everyone who needs them to be using them simultaneously.

2. Our highways have TOO many entrance ramps. Egress on to the highway and off is too convenient. Fewer ramps would mean fewer cars.
