Roads with 56 lanes are not a thing and I don't see the need for implying they were. In reality you would probably get way less route capacity as transport just doesn't scale linearly like that. There is a perfectly fine graphic on Wikipedia that gets the same message across without implying anything absurd.
Isn't them not being a thing kinda part of the point. You see how stupid the building must get to reach the same throughput
Maybe not yet. Keep following the "just one more lane, bro" planning strategy and we will have them by 2050.
Are you the kind of person who thinks "Where's the any key?" when the computer says "press any key to continue"? Like, overly literal, inability to parse intent and deep meaning?
Nope I just think this image is stupid
One train track moves people faster than this entire highway.
Partly this is because there are 2-4 roads in parallel attempting to move the same number of people, or demand is unmet because people can't get to where they want to go when they want to go.
