Induced demand is when you build a new road or widen a road in greenspace, then allow the building of new developments along the road because it now has "extra" capacity.

I'm talking about taking a road that is already at maximum capacity and resides in an already built-out area. The extra users I'm talking about would be shifted from secondary roads such as Georgetown Pike to Route 7. If they were new residents, then that would be induced demand - like the Loudoun Parkway, for example.
