Wider roads do NOT reduce emissions or traffic. The very opposite in fact. It is called “induced demand”. There are countless studies on this. It increases traffic. Every city planner knows this.

Good god. Andrew Scheer honestly argued that building wider roads reduces CO2 emissions. It *does not.*
Here is the estimated emissions impact of one stretch of expanded highway over 50 years. (The research suggests that there *could* be net savings in the short-term, but finds the impact is undoubtedly negative in the medium/long-term.)
