I don't think they mean that the traffic totally disappears - as in a complete elimination of these trips.
A few may be eliminated, but most of the vanished traffic changes routes, or methods, or timing (like you said).
But isn't this a good thing? Everyone is still getting where they need to go, but they are using fewer lanes in order to do it. This means less cost to the city in infrastructure construction and maintenance.
It's as if smart lane reductions can be a way to drive greater efficiency and eliminate infrastructure spending waste.

I vote down for offensiveness and up for humour. I cast no votes based on my level of agreement.
