Country towns now seeing the sort of road congestion you see in cities. And we keep making the same mistakes, thinking that more 'traffic' means we need more and bigger roads. Traffic is not a thing, its not like a flow of water that just needs more and bigger pipes. Roads create the congestion, every new road *increases* the 'traffic'. The fact small towns now have the same congestion as big cities proves it's not the number of people that creates the problem, it's designing towns that need far too much moving around. Public transport won't fix this either, it's part of the same moving around idea.
