For the yellow, maybe you could say that 15 years ago, but that's not really the case anymore. Maybe the core business area may not be that busy, but the urban areas like Stephen Ave, 17th Ave, 4th street, and nearby areas like Kensington have plenty of people out and about on the weekend nights.
For the red, if you're driving from the northwest end of the city to the southeast end, or Airdrie to Okotoks, sure. But that line is a hyperbole since commuting by car is fairly straightforward and efficient in this city. With how big the city is, it's no different than anywhere else. Driving from west end of metro Vancouver to the east wouldn't be any different.
