1. When National says "we'll ease congestion by building more roads" they're talking about highways.
2. This will have ZERO EFFECT on the daily traffic congestion most people face - gridlock in towns & cities. And that's never going away UNTIL FEWER PEOPLE DRIVE.
3. Mind you, the Nats HAVE helpfully promised to urban kneecap public transport too. And reduce Aotearoa's already puny spend on cycling infrastructure grrrr.
