Why do traffic congestion and delay problems increase after widening and extending highways in urban areas?

The correct answer should suggest a difference between having wider, more extended roads and having less wide, less extended roads. This difference should create the potential for more congestion when roads are wider and more extended.

Wider, more extended roads could lead to more congestion by attracting a lot more drivers. This effect could more than outweigh whatever decrease in congestion the physically wider roads create.

We’d still expect wider roads to lead to less congestion. Maybe these projects only occur in highly-populated areas; wider roads can still allow people to drive more freely and with less delays.

It’s not clear how the accident rate relates to congestion and delay.

The discrepancy involves urban areas. A comparison to rural areas doesn’t explain why wider, more extensive roads in urban areas leads to more congestion.
