La traffic study about 20 years ago. What causes stop and go traffic, conclusion: constant breaking. Serious.
Read between the lines. Obviously this requires a trillion dollars to build light rail, subways, bike lanes, and high speed rail between Coalinga and Mendota. Oh, and of course, raise taxes.
The DC area has all kinds of screwed up ideas like this. There are now segregated car pool lanes where solos can pay large tolls to drive. The segment of I-95 that runs into the south side of the metro area only has three lanes each way. There are traffic jams, even on the weekends.
Heading home at 3pm, the 405 would already suck, so I'd do Sepulveda until well through the freeway "Sepulveda Impasse".
Add a n extra lane to the freeway-but restrict who can actually used it-act surprised when there is no relief of traffic. Liberal problem solving in action.
Phoenix has a carpool lane that splits off the main freeway, sores into the air to cross another freeway, then rejoins the original.
The intersection of freeways plus the carpool lanes causes a dangerous exit ramp puzzle and traffic crunch. Just a mess.
But, someone got rich!
