If the amount of traffic that the roads could carry doubled every year, for the same cost of maintaining them, then gridlock would not exists. I know this stuff is counter intutive. We simply have never had 'unlimited' resources before the 'digital age'. When the resource moves towards unlimited at near zero cost the only sensible thing to do id to waste it!
