Clearly traffic needs to be further marketized. People should reserve shares of the road in advance for a small fee; this will help commuters the most since know when they will need to be in traffic and can buy ahead time. And smart travelers can speculate about possible road-use futures and trade ones they think are under-valued, further incentivizing investments in key growth areas.
You can buy up those shares in advance as a form of high traffic speculation, then create options contracts on the shares, tranche and collateralize the options, and sell them to retail investors as a form of guaranteed income while taking off 40% as a transaction fee!

The ideal model of economic efficiency.
You could (sadly) probably make some money off this idea.
