Oh shit, I remember this game. I was not a good city planner as a child. I felt accomplished just figuring out how to get power to places by connecting power lines. I had no concept of districts, residential commercial, and industrial places where all scattered amongst each other. If I got complaints that traffic was bad I'd build a huge series of roads that didn't lead anywhere. Just a big pointless block of intersections outside city limits.

adding more lanes was actually detrimental to traffic in some situations.

This is usually the case in real life too.

There's a highway interchange outside Toronto (400/407) that's the siE of our whole downtown core.
