And traffic STILL sucks in Houston

This is why traffic sucks. Super highways don't reduce traffic, they create it.

I'm not disagreeing necessarily (I know nothing about city planning), but wouldn't a smaller highway just force people onto the side streets and city roads? How does a superhighway make traffic worse?

Building larger highways always encourages more traffic. For a better explanation, check out this video by Adam Something. His youtube channel has a lot of interesting videos about transportation infrastructure.
