" not to start alleviating each individual bottleneck one by one."

i'd love to see someone actually mathematically try to do this.  whether it's a grid where traffic constantly intersects or an interstate that can't be expanded indefinitely, i think it's basically impossible to "fix" bottlenecks across a road system as a whole.  is there a growing city anywhere in the world that has managed to do it?  i can't think of a single example, but i can think of cities that have tried which have experienced soul-crushing gridlock (moscow, beijing, jakarta, lagos, los angeles, and the list goes on and on)
