A highway camera photo shows traffic in FortMcMurray jammed in the southbound lane of Highway 63 on the north side of the Athabasca River. The image was captured at 3:11 p.m. MT, about an hour after an evacuation order was issued for four neighbourhoods. (511 Alberta)

are there any actual sources that adding more lanes does more harm than good? People bitch about it all the time and i always hear the "one more lane" joke going around, but I've never actually seen any papers or articles about it. Just pictures of large highways with traffic jams.
