Traffic flow modelling
When Urban Freeway designs fail

picture from LA - 19 lanes bumper to bumper
Picture is courtesy transfuture.net. Thought it fits here, 19 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic on a freeway (aka expressway, motorway etc) near LA during Memorial day weekend. I have been in these several times few years ago, over-dependence on private transport in Americal is something that has to be seen to be believed.

Fake
Could be
The smog part of the picture (hiding the city skyline) did look suspicious to me (looks too dramatic to be true). Got the pic via an email which also had the 19 lane thing. Posted under excitement, will remove if folks object.
How true...
Fake picture or not, point is taken. I agree that there is no point building traffic infrastructure just to serve private vehicles. Without a good public transport scheme in place, a stand-still is inevitable sooner or later.
