When Malmö built the outer ring the congestion on the inner ring decreased substantially. This is common knowledge with the hundreds of thousands of people who live and drive cars here but you can at least find a sentence about it here as well: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttre_Ringv%C3%A4gen

I'm guessing you 1) live in the US and 2) don't drive a car.

Build a new road is not equal to adding lanes to existing roads as the original meme implies.

If the roads are for the same traffic (origin/destination etc) - why not?
