re: Is BR traffic really that bad?

We have beat the loop and Washington Street exits over and over and over. Has anyone came up with a plan to try and reduce the number of accidents in the first place?
Would banning cell phones do any good? Probably not as I still see people texting and driving daily. Maybe we should increase the fines to something that would really hurt if you were ticketed for that offense?
Would increasing patrols on the interstates help drivers slow down or would it cause more accidents? In the morning, I routinely see drivers exceeding 80 mph on the interstate weaving in and out of traffic. I'm not sure if having the PoPo patrol the interstate more would slow them down or not?
Would restricting 18 wheelers to specific lanes help reduce the number of accidents?
The OT is full of brilliant minds so surely they know how to reduce the number of accidents on an interstate...they just haven't been asked yet.

It once took me 45 minutes to get from Midtown Manhattan to the Lincoln Tunnel, which is about a mile and a half. Compared to that, BR traffic is not bad. Compared to anything else, it's atrocious.

There also needs to be a greater number of lanes on the interstates and frontage roads. And, Airline needs to be widened out to Prairieville, too.
There are no amounts of cell phone bans or police patrols that will help congestion. The restricted lanes for 18 wheelers would basically be a Loop.
