At there's at least one other person here with sensibility.
Too many people here - or rather, armchair urbanists in general - really don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. They are vehemently opposed to personal automobiles for whatever reason and that's it.
Important cities/regions need high capacity highways into, through and out of core areas and without them you run into complex problems. Yeah, roads and train tracks etc are unsightly but necessary. It is not possible to have a major city with hundreds of thousands to millions of people without such infrastructure.
We can certainly improve, rebuilt or replace many of them but it would be impossible to function without.
