- Receive more complaints or cleanup an accident
- Commission a traffic study to determine what can be done about the sudden congestion
(In the city's/county's defense, they may need to wait for a traffic problem to justify a new traffic study and you never know how accurate the previous study was. Anticipating what people will do today based on the habits of people ten years ago has got to be tricky)

How long have you been a city planner? How many cities have you planned roadways for?
What road congestion fix you created are you most proud of?
