Uh no

And I'd bet money some of this is already happening; yet we still have the problems we see every day of the week.

If we do not find a more modern approach then building more infrastructure alone will not work. It has been proven that the amount of time it takes to build anything meaningful the city has usually grown and needs further work. At this point, there is little you can do to outrun traffic with the population growth and better traffic means more people so it is a never-ending cycle.

Plus during the construction the traffic is at an all time worse. When the construction never ends which it cannot if that is your only answer the traffic is always at its worst.

We have to come up with a better plan besides putting more and more concrete down.

Study on building bigger roads

Linked is a great study but there are tons. If your only answer is MOAR Loops and Interstates then you can never improve your situation. We have to come up with something better than the archaic MOAR Interstate and Loops.
