🚦 The Transport Doom Loop: Why More Roads ≠ Less Traffic
This diagram clearly illustrates the vicious cycle many cities are trapped in:
1. 🚧 We build more roads and car parks, hoping to ease congestion.
2. 🚫 But this diverts funding away from public and active transport.
3. 🚗 So, more people drive, as alternatives become less viable.
4. 🚙 Traffic congestion gets worse, and the cycle begins again.
🔁 The result? Endless investment in car-centric infrastructure that only deepens the problem.
💡 The solution isn’t more asphalt—it’s better public transport, safe cycling routes, and walkable cities. Breaking the loop means shifting priorities from cars to people.
