Trucks, trucks, trucks
Growing truck traffic is one factor that everyone cites for worsening congestion.
Miles traveled by U.S. commercial trucks increased 229 percent between 1970 and 1999, federal statistics show. During the same time, miles traveled by passenger cars only grew 71 percent, and interstate capacity grew less than 10 percent.
Today, each semi-truck takes up the same room on the highway as eight cars.
"There seems to be an almost rhythmic expansion in trucks," traffic reporter Phillips says. "They are everywhere all the time now. It used to be that maybe one out of every 15 vehicles was a truck. Now, I'd say that is about one in seven."
