It's real, and Speck referred to it during his talk.

... Most roads are designed for far more cars than they will ever hold, so cutting lanes to install paths for biking or walking doesn’t mean vehicle capacity will be reduced below existing use levels, Speck said.

He believes many engineers fall victim to “induced demand,” where they add traffic lanes that aren’t needed and believe they are vindicated when more traffic arrives.

Studies prove that when you add lanes and make it easier to commute on a road more motorists will choose that route, Speck said.

“In congested systems, the primary constraint to driving is congestion,” he said.
