When he had lanes to Salt Lake’s holiest sites, he should have instead put one to the church-owned shopping mall and one to the Zions bank building. Nothing is holier to Mormons than capitalism and money.
Absolutely can confirm this as an ex Mormon who was raised in it.
You guys have more than one lane way per way?
Our main roads have one lane per direction, meaning two lains in total and our highways have 2 lanes per direction in total 4.
We get huge traffic jams in summer cause of tourists which can easilly go up to 30km.
Maybe one more lane each direction could actuwlly help there on the highway.
An extra lane doubles capacity, so best case scenario you’d be looking at is traffic jams that go up to 15km, for a while.
Building more lanes makes it easier to drive and so more people are going to. You can’t solve traffic this way due to induced demand.
Yea I can see that happening, I was mostly sarcastic at the fact there are countries that stuggle with god know how many lanes and us who have max 4.
Edit: The biggest problem here in total is the complete lack of public transport.
Why stop at one more lane? Just add three or four at once, and then maybe we can get through a whole decade before we need more.
Sounds like the tourists need to be disallowed from driving in these areas. Do you have public transit connecting them?
Check my other comment, but short answer is nope.
Edit: those are rugular public roads that are the only way to travel, not specific areas.
@crony @mondoman712 *surely* this is a troll?
You can never fix traffic. The more roads you put down, the more businesses are gonna more near due to people wanting food or something. Then people more closer to the shops and stores, thus closer to the road, towns and cities are built, and soon enough you can’t even expand the road because you would be cutting into a building.
Nah bro one more lane will fix it.
Protip: thinking for a fraction of a second about the fact that “satire” and “jokes” exist can save you the time you spend writing earnest rebukes to unearnest silliness.
I keep buying bigger pants, but it doesn’t seem to be helping my diet.
Great channel discovered, thanks!
