Traffic isn't added because of more lanes.

Traffic is added because of more cars.

Usually more cars results from more people.

The way to get more people is higher density, or more people traveling farther (sprawl).

And BTW -- even in my ironic mocking mode, I didn't propose turning Veirs Mill into a freeway. I proposed leveling it out so that a light-rail line could traverse the length without needing a cog drive to climb the steep hills.

Other people might propose turning Veirs Mill into a limited-access highway, moreso than it already is. It's presently a State Highway with really quite limited access along most of its length, it has frontage roads most of the length.
