Now, imagine that the cars have to slow down for some reason (guard gates, for example, or a school loading or unloading zone). To get the same number of cars to pass a checkpoint in 10 minutes as on the highway, the traffic has to spread out sideways — everyone is moving more slowly, so to get 300 cars to pass your checkpoint in 10 minutes, you need many more lanes.
