    Its so hard to get through to most people on traffic engineering. Induced demand, for instance, is a nightmare to explain to anyone.

    Traffic engineering is possibly so unintuitive they should teach it in high school so people understand the hell common sense and intuition create when they are wrong.

    Every time some politician creates some well meaning but misguided attempt to fix a traffic or parking problem it creates an avelanche of unintended consequences.
