We can’t really fix the traffic problems...by pouring more concrete
There are plenty of studies that prove this. It takes too long for major highway infrastructure projects to be completed. By the time they are completed the population has grown that they are not big enough or people deem that path better so more people jam into it.
There needs to be more creative ways. My ideas:
- Employers adding work from home as a benefit. Technology allowing for less travel is ultimately the answer.
- Four Ten Hour workdays. Some companies do Monday and some do Friday.
- Fees for all cars involved in wrecks in baton rouge to help fund BR traffic solutions.
- BR Police, etc to be tracked on how long it takes to clear wrecks from interstate and some general standards to be set on time to clear wrecks.

Are you assuming that the population only grows if they expand the infrastructure? Because, in reality, it expands whether you add more capacity or not. If anything, you're advocating for adding EVEN MORE capacity at a time!
Saying adding more lanes doesn't work because you can't add them fast enough is like saying "I guess I shouldn't even try to put gauze on this gaping gunshot wound because there's no way it would stop all the bleeding." Yeah, it won't, but it will stop a lot more than none would!!!
More lanes just changes where the growth occurs. It has little to no effect on if or how much growth occurs.

Five year long studies are part of the problem. From idea to completion takes so long that the project is completely obsolete before it comes to fruition. A new "study" system needs to be in place , or the idea needs to project much farther into the future for any positive results to be realized. The system is broken. People are making money the way it is, so don't hold your breath for changes.
