It's always somone else causing the problem !
In general, the richer the person is:
1. The more resources he uses
2. The more he feels that he part of the solution
3. The less he feels that he is part of the problem.
I've actually heard people remarking "These buses are the biggest cause of the traffic problem".

das, a nice one!
das,
Thanks for the thought provoking moments, but with humor.
Truely a good one
For every thing we have an excuse to exclude self. We want others to be good or better than us at least. The degree varies.

'Solutions'

1.) Underpasses, overpasses, roads on stilts, roads over roads, roads roads and more roads

4.) Cars for all - Tata Nanos to be poll promises like TVs!
It is not only richer
It is not only RICHER ,if one is more educative/powerful -he some times become arrogative/selfish
Like parking cars on FOOT PATH for hours and throwing fine like giving alms to a begger .and building 5 floors without providing parking space and speaking on traffic issues
If humans practice than what we preach it reduces the problem.

"The extremely short period of time between the signal turning green & the guy behind starts honking !".
A very scientific explanation for nanosecond..
