Proving that building more roads won't reduce traffic congestion is Boston's man-made disaster - The Big Dig. "The $15 billion Big Dig is truly a gift that just keeps on giving. And now it seems it isn't even doing what it was intended to do - reduce congestion. An analysis by the Boston Globe found the 3.5-mile tunnel under the center of town has actually doubled commute times in some areas, proving two things: First, major road projects need parallel investments in mass transit. And second, it's all but impossible for cities to pave away traffic problems. " [Wired: Autopia]
