This is actually how the original simcity handled its traffic algorithms and why as a kid I always failed to fix the problem :) Read about it years later in the SimCity Planning Commission Handbook (which I first found from a discussion here, coincidentally: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10168016)

If you replaced "unfortunate" with "fortunate", then I would agree with your statement.
