Satirical study links cars to traffic congestion

A satirical article from The Beaverton, a Canadian news parody site, reports a new study showing a link between cars and traffic. The joke plays on the obvious relationship between vehicle volume and congestion, a common target of urbanist commentary about car-dependent cities and calls for better public transit and cycling infrastructure.
Why now: The satire resonates with ongoing debates about car dependency, urban planning and public transit investment.
