Highways aren’t the answer, traffic jams can’t be stopped, says Washington transportation chief Richard Millar

Highways won’t cure Washington state’s traffic woes and preventing congestion is impossible, said Roger Millar, head of the Washington state Department of Transportation.

At a meeting of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, Millar said building more highways to solve congestion "isn’t the answer," and congestion "is a problem we simply cannot solve," according to AASHTO Journal, which reported his comments from last Wednesday’s meeting in Spokane.
