quote:
road widening and signaled intersections.
No.
Both are discredited and anachronistic and there are much better solutions.
Widening increases traffic. Repeated cases have shown this.
Do the research! Don't be an armchair engineer.
Signaled intersections are far INFERIOR to roundabouts is most situations. Roundabouts reduce congestion and reduce hazards. Do the research. Don't be an armchair engineer.
Both widening and signaled intersections cost more than the alternatives(btw: the companies that build roads and sell signal lights won't tell you this).
