If it makes you feel any better, I live in a wealthy suburb by some major traffic congestion and in the age of Google Maps, has become a major "short cut" so much that backed up cars will block my driveway each morning during rush hour.

So even the well off have to deal with these "externalities".

Our road is also in poor shape and had no shoulder to begin with. It is not meant for this level of traffic.
