    your analogy to expanding an emergency room is terrible, for reasons that should be obvious

    hope the mods are happy for making me insult you

        No, it is perfectly analogous. The question is if your objective is to get people where they are going (that is, treat more people) or to reduce traffic times (that is, reduce wait times in the er). You could demolish every freeway and it would solve the traffic problem in the same way that putting a strict quota on admittance to the ER would.

      So obvious that you can't even mention them? The question is if your objective is to get people where they are going (that is, treat more people) or to reduce traffic times (that is, reduce wait times in the er). You could demolish every freeway and it would solve the traffic problem in the same way that putting a strict quota on admittance to the ER would.
