This is VERY MUCH a falsehood. Have you ever commuted during the very ironically named 'rush hour'. (Everyone would much rather go fast, and it usually takes much longer than an hour)

It's called "Induced Demand". That combined with "drive until you qualify" lead to over congestion on roads that were built to "peak" demand.
