 ## Future Plans
 
 - multi-lane link
-	- Note: The current model assumes that all links are 1 lane, and the reaction time of all drivers are the same. This means that all links have more or less the same capacity.  It is not possible to model  multi-lane links that have 2 or 3 times the capacity of 1-lane links. This is a theoretical limitation.
- 	- Workarounds for the current model:
-		- Create multiple links between same node pair; each link corresponds to each lane between the nodes. This is a reasonable solution. However, the analysis becomes tedious.
-		- Reduce `capacity_out` parameter of `Link`. In this way, we can place a bottleneck to the end of a link, so that capacities of links can vary significantly. However, it only reduce the capacity. Also, the jam propagation speed becomes too fast or slow.
 - day-to-day dynamics
 - taxi and shared mobility (i.e., vehicles travel through a network by passing through specific nodes that are dynamically updated)
 - network import from OSMnx
