Most of these points are true. However, introduction of all the traffic lights made matters far worse, not better - now all the traffic has to stop and start whether or not there is anything to give way to, thus increasing pollution. If you want less traffic, you MUST reduce the number of jobs in the city and replace areas of employment by areas of residence - all the current attempts of have your cake and eat it (i.e. increase job count and reduce traffic) are doomed to failure.
