Re: new roads don't solve congestion, examples needed

I guess the answer to that one is to say "all projects"... the typical 
increase is 100% of previous traffic... We are now developing a document 
on Travel Demand Management which will have all this information, and is 
in an almost final state. We should be diffusing the publication around 
the next month or so. In the meantime, have you tried in VTPI's 
encyclopedia?
