How Florida Is Slowly Turning Into One Giant Traffic Jam

How Florida Is Slowly Turning Into One Giant Traffic Jam Florida is spending seventy-five billion dollars widening highways to handle eight hundred thirty-one new residents arriving every single day. In the last six years, the state added one thousand six hundred sixty-seven lane miles of highway capacity. And traffic got worse anyway. Fort Myers residents now lose forty-eight hours per year sitting in traffic. Interstate Four, one of Florida's main highways, is still one of the deadliest in America despite four billion dollars spent widening it. And here's the wildest part: every new lane Florida builds fills up within two to five years, bringing congestion right back to where it started. This is how Florida became the state that solves traffic by creating more of it, and the one pattern that explains why adding lanes never works. Florida has invested seventy-five billion dollars in transportation infrastructure since two thousand and nineteen. That's highways, interchanges, express lanes, and overpasses. The stated goal is to reduce congestion and improve safety. The Florida Department of Transportation claims success, pointing to reduced travel times on newly widened corridors.
