    Roads with 56 lanes are not a thing and I don’t see the need for implying they were. In reality you would probably get way less route capacity as transport just doesn’t scale linearly like that. There is a perfectly fine graphic on Wikipedia that gets the same message across without implying anything absurd.

      roads with 56 lanes are not a thing.

      Maybe not yet. Keep following the “just one more lane, bro” planning strategy and we will have them by 2050.

      Isn’t them not being a thing kinda part of the point. You see how stupid the building must get to reach the same throughput

      Partly this is because there are 2-4 roads in parallel attempting to move the same number of people, or demand is unmet because people can’t get to where they want to go when they want to go.
