Tell this idiot to go away with this rediculas idea. Anyone that drives the freeways can see where the bottlenecks are and what is causing the problem.

The problem is, the engineers that design the roads can't see how their work slows traffic.

Has anyone not seen how to speed traffic and asked themselves, how could the be so stupid to design this road like they have?

Like one lane transfer lanes from one major highway to another! LOL!

For DFW the problem is just getting the older interior highways up to 8 lanes. Having 4 lanes going one way makes a huge difference. The other annoying factor is the emergency vehicles and construction crews taking up two lanes when it is not necessary. Once the I-30 expansion is done, the State and DFW needs to work on getting at least two three of the North-South highways up to 8 lanes. Also adding a North-South leg to the TRE would be nice and probably would increase ridership. Either that or make a I-20 link and the make two I-35 links to connect the I-30 and I-20 links, creating a box like structure.

Oh and on those 8 lane highways, having transfer lanes for on and off ramps work wonders as well. Not the random off and on ramp of 183.
