I might be wrong, but this poll seems to pertain specifically to those things that a civil engineer would have some level of control over. I can think of dozens of other things that would have a major impact on fuel consumption but that are outside the sphere of influence of someone who is designing traffic ways.
In my opinion, one of the biggest offenders that is not listed in this poll is carpool lanes. In my experience, carpool lanes are responsible for the greatest number of freeway traffic jams. Granted, it is the drivers' faults, but they are enabled by poorly engineered roads.
