This legit happened to the entire US in the 50s and 60s, and has only sligjtly improved in the past 30 years
No, it’s gotten worse over the past 30 years.
They’ve removed a lot of the in city highways atleast in the east coast
Depends on where you are. It’s gotten much worse in Florida.
Hasn’t everything though?
Eh, my mom did the park and ride thing and took the train to work in Orlando for a few years before she retired. It’s not enough, but a few cities are taking some steps in the right direction.
In TX not only have they added highway, but many new highways are Toll roads. Somehow the city councils get duped with a presentation that building another lane on the highway won’t help, but building two in the name of a private company will.
They don’t even take care of the toll roads as well as the public roads either.
We added 30,511 new freeway lane-miles of road in the largest 100 urbanized areas between 1993 and 2017, an increase of 42 percent. That rate of freeway expansion significantly outstripped the 32 percent growth in population in those regions over the same time period. Yet this strategy has utterly failed to “solve” the problem at hand—delay is up in those urbanized areas by a staggering 144 percent.
The ad even falls it out directly
like Los Angeles
lol, ouch
Source? What year was this from?
Late 1960-s/early 1970-s.
Grey punch-buggy, no punch-backs.
That’s the future (neo) liberals want for our country. Wake up!
Uhhh…as someone in the UK, I would probably rethink holding us to some beacon of transport perfection. Our rail system is heavily privatised, and costs so much that we regularly see stories of how it would cost less to fly to mainland Europe and then to London instead of getting the train from say Bristol.
Nobody said we were holding you to perfection mate, we’re just enjoying your old ads
