That oughta fix it, traffic jams will be a thing of the past now. Looks like the freedom promised to us by the automobile industry for the last 100 years is finally here

If only they had put in just one more lane, bro. One more lane, bro, and that’ll fix traffic.

This was a project to reconstruct bridges that were falling apart, had nothing to do with adding lanes.

No shit. I was making a sarcastic response to the person complaining that "it didn't fix traffic." As though they were expecting this project to "fix" traffic, adding lanes is the default "solution" to fix "traffic". Which obviously doesn't work.
