It's ironic that the article seems to think building more roads, thereby improving road-to-miles-driven ratio will ease congestion.
It also takes as fact that it's "as inefficient" to use Waze. My experience is Waze often does cut commute time down; not always; but on the aggregate it demonstrably, scientifically, provably does. That's why it's a huge success and people use it.
I do think there are problems with drivers disregarding the law (speed limits, signs etc.) on smaller streets, and perhaps they need to be more aggressively punished for doing so. In general I am for more aggressive fees, sentencing and punishment for violating driving rules.
