    For an example of how crucial it is too keep roads accessible and decongested, look at the Philippines. Metro Manila is currently losing 3.5 billion pesos PER DAY due to the constant congestion, and is on track for that loss reaching 6 billion. An average company employee might earn somewhere between 20-30k per month there, so 3.5 billion is a lot of money by Filipino measure.
