Well sadly, roads have a bad habit of being confined by physical time and space and cannot just be arbitrarily widened.

You can go up and down though.

Again, I'm not making a value judgement here. Transit is a valid option that could be better

Up is expensive and rather unpleasant for those walking nearby on the surface. Down is even more expensive.

Don't forget that no matter how many lanes you add to a highway heading into a city, eventually that highway ends up... in the city. Too many cars in a city makes for a loud and dangerous-to-navigate environment for those who live there.
