I think it's a three-part problem. One, it is a flow problem, and by removing congestion at one bottleneck you mostly deliver traffic more efficiently to the next bottleneck. Actua…

As someone else pointed out, reducing peak speeds does not necessarily increase travel time. See this report on the Prospect Park West redesign: http://jonathansoma.com/ppw/ I comm…
