Why we persist on building even more roads with the cost of petrol rising exponentially, and encouraging even more distant suburbs to be built, absolutely bewilders me. Nuts.

Road engineers and planners have known for 30 years that bigger and better roads simply produce more traffic. The new roads fill up almost overnight.

Just curious.

Thanks for all your answers :)

445755 2006-04-18 05:31:00 Yea, it's kind of a hard question to answer really. What I mean is that I would be willing to pay a $2-4 toll to use it, but that doesn't mean I would use it all the time.

If it was free, then I still don't know if i'd use it that often, I could easily take the train, or the more "scenic" coastal route.

That's why I asked both questions, your interpretation is what I had in mind. Still should have made it clearer though.
