Here is a fun fact for you retards. Traffic is more or less a constant no matter how many highways or lanes or roads you build (or remove for that matter). Humans have a tolerance for the amount of time they are willing to spend commuting and this tolerance is exactly reflected in The sprawl of Roman villages. You have to think of it like a living organism that will always expand to max out all available resources. If you add another lane, somewhere in the complex ecosystem of residents 100 more people move in to negate the benefit. If you remove a lane, somewhere 100 people leave because their limit was reached.
Personally, I’m not entirely sold on the proposed solutions but people far smarter than I am all seem to believe that street parking should absolutely not be free and making all roads a toll road (or something to that effect) is the best way forward.
