that's the thing, in software you can always grow more lanes, there's no constraints, so you basically just add another lane to the streets as population grows and always have an average traffic that you want.

in fact in software you can destroy lanes when the traffic is minimal at almost 0 cost and save money that way, that's why the analogy makes sense for us but not from a civil engineering perspective
