Cities don’t inherently create this much private traffic. Car centric city planning does. You can build cities that are not centered around cars. It is, in fact, easier to plan for fewer cars per person if everyone lives close together, because the places you need to go will be closer and you can bike or walk, and there’s enough people for public transport to go frequently and everywhere without being half empty.
Reason #354 why I loathe cities.

This is literally a consequence of urban sprawl & cars, not cities. lol
Infrastructure like this is mutually exclusive with the urban density of a real city.
If you have a highway like this, all you get is a highway, instead of a city.
What does a 26 lane highway have to do with cities?
You tend not to find 26 lane highways out in the middle of the bush?
You also tend to not find them in the middle of cities. Texas just happens to be a car-dependent wasteland.
