No, lets look at the current plan; increase the existing problems by scale. Build more roads, and more more more more... I know you live in San Diego; how wide can they possibly make the 15 or the 5 freeways? Building can not outpace population growth, when everyone is traveling at the same time! Meanwhile, traffic is delayed further by road construction. Accidents cause jams, which backs up the onramps, then the sidestreets where all the traffic lights are. It's a cascading effect.

...and they would send out people who would tell each company.

Now you're just being rediculous. A law and enfocement wasn't what I had in mind. There should be an incentive for business to find a solution to 9-5 commutes if applicable. I don't know what "incentive" should be. But, the government could turn a few propaganda resources to promoting alternate schedules. All it will cost, is advertising dollars. Businesses can impliment the system that works best for them.

If we can have freeways for our cars why not free hospitals for everyone, paid for by the same resource. What's the difference?

Huh? Nevermind, don't even try to explain it.

Opening one lane for everyone that is already partly used is not the answer that will meet the future demands

I agree. I'm not saying do not build more roads. I'm saying get people off the roads during peak hours. When I go shopping at night, these 4 lane roads feel like they were built just for me. Spread out traffic density, It will have an measureable impact on traffic and the environment within 2-3 years.

And so all dock workers would be working the midnight shifts and having no time with their daytime family.

What is annoying about debating you, is your search to find the handful of people who will not benefit. I'm pretty sure ports and supermarkets operate 24hrs a day. And for everyone else, how do you know it wouldn't have a positive effect on family relations, and work productivity? Okay, fine. Dock workers then. Lets just say dock workers will be miserable working at midnight. Meanwhile, millions of other people are sitting on the freeway, and six guys in hardhats watch one guy dig a hole.
