Original Note:
Individual automobile use is itself a driver of traffic congestion. Adding alternate routes alone often does not solve the problem and can increase congestion as it attracts more drivers who previously took alternate modes of transport or avoided travelling altogether. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-06/traffic-jam-blame-induced-demand https://www.wired.com/2014/06/wuwt-traffic-induced-demand/
