Gridlock: Hell on Wheels by Drew Carey and Reason.tv

just fuckin ride a motorbike no jams no hassel more birds more sun more fun plus you can roll into work everymorning like arnold scwartsnigger.

But, but, but Drew. If traffic congestion gets solved by private initiate (aka market forces), whatever are the useless utopian schemers -- the politicians and bureaucrats -- going to do?

"Josh lives 16 miles from work ... we've got to find a way to get Josh to work quicker".

Move Josh closer to work.

Privatizing roads relieves the tax payer. Private highways are more efficient, and accidents are attended to faster. The upkeep is better. You pay a toll for each use instead of paying MORE via taxes for unlimited use. It also encourages people to bike to work.
Usage does NOT increase. If you build more roads, thousands more cars aren't going to appear out of no where. A lot of pollution comes from cars starting and stopping, and idling in traffic.

The government isn't entitled to the roads.

L.A. should have built an extensive public rail transport years ago. This is what happens when you depend on cars too much.

Me too!

Wonderful, practical, and effective! :D
