Road throughput doesn't solve congestion when road throughput isn't the issue.

They are trying to widen the NJ Turnpike but the congestion isn't because 6 lanes aren't enough, the congestion is because the three Hudson crossings into Manhattan cannot ingest 6 lanes worth of traffic.


Look up «Braess's paradox», more throughput when removing capacity is long established (century +) in systems with simplistic greedy agents like humans

> how do you see that something is downvoted?

You can’t directly. If the comment goes negative, it get greyed out. (In many cases, people are complaining about a comment they like not being the top comment.)

Either way, complaining about the voting is against the guidelines and thus flaggable. That causes your comment to get marked as flagged.
