The cost of expanding freeways is like 3x any possible benefit when you neglect all the damage cars do and consider only the land value. #noMoreFreeways #inducedDemand #CarsRuinCities
#InducedDemand, the Fundamental law of traffic congestion that has been repeatedly proven and unrefuted for 70 years, says that everything most highway agencies are doing is a complete waste of time and money, but ๐ they just keep doing it ๐ฃ๏ธ ๐๐ธ just one more lane will fix it bro!! #ClimateDenial #NoMoreFreeways #FuckCars
Youโve Been Lied To About Roads For 60 Years
won't someone think of the freeway widening consultants, sitting by the offramp holding a sign "will draw one more lane for food" #FuckCars #NoMoreFreeways #InducedDemand #ODOTGTFOpdx
weird how this comes out as an ad for the paving company's stock rather than a chance to cut $70B/yr in wasteful government spending #FuckCars #defundDOTs #NoMoreFreeways
Who Makes Billions Paving America's Roads?

Get the orange cones out there, tear up half of the freeway, and *then* ask for more funding. ๐ธ #BanCars #NoMoreFreeways #ODOTGTFOpdx
ICYMI spending money on "safe streets" while still spending 100x more to make them dangerous is a losing proposition. #VisionZero #NoMoreFreeways
