It always comes to a point where the only way to improve traffic is to flatten the buildings people drive to, defeating the purpose.

And then you have to rebuild them farther away, creating even more traffic!

Sometimes, you achieve good traffic flow by making a city so absurdly difficult to drive in that people give up, park in the outskirts, and take public transport.
Example: Amsterdam. In the city, there is almost no traffic, achieved through insanely twisty road signals, stupid expensive parking spots and no gas stations. And still, almost no traffic doesn’t mean no traffic… I can’t understand people still clinging to a car in such conditions.
