Here's something I wish everyone did: the German Government has an interactive map of all the road, rail, and water projects from the 2015 infrastructure plan to be completed by 2030.
https://www.bvwp-projekte.de/
Let's take one example, this one on a stretch of the A1 near Bremen

The last row shows what the project entails. Here it says "E8". That means it's an Erweiterung or Expansion, of the highway to 8 lanes.
For projects where a new road is to be built, they have an "N" for Neu.
And they don't just do it for big autobahn projects. They also map where they plan to bypass little villages with new 2 lane roads.
And things get even cooler when you click on the "projectdossier" button.

They map out traffic counts predicted with and without the project on all nearby roads and they show how it changes.
They also lay out the cost-benefit analysis and environmental impacts.
It's a great way to kill a few hours.

Wow. Keep in mind that replies and how much people like something don't correlate. Sometimes the reverse, actually - your other posts get so many replies because people are arguing with you. And that post pre-dates the SFS update, so there was no like button then either.
Honestly, this post makes you look like you're just seeking attention here.

Hence why I noted the famous Tolbs example. Sometimes people just plain don't have anything to say or add to a thread. There is probably dozens o threads I've created regarding random roads that don't have a single reply.
