You're making a lot of logical leaps plutonicpanda.

Addressing a basic one: while expanding a freeway can smooth traffic at that spot for a while, (a) it'll generally fill up after a while, and (b) it'll tend to add pressure on the rest of the network.

Induced demand is a real thing...it seems to be nearing the "smoking kills" and "humans are causing climate change" level of agreement among experts.
