50-lane highway resembled car park
Vehicles are seen stuck in a traffic jam near a toll station as people return home at the end of a week-long national day holiday, in Beijing, China. (Reuters) You might never complain about the morning rush hour again in your life after you see how thousands of cars in China were brought to an absolute halt at a toll booth in an epic traffic jam.
As many as 50-lane highway resembled a huge car park when almost half of China's 1.3 billion people returned to work after the National Day holiday, reports 9news.com.au.
After the long weekend away, this incredible bottleneck hit the residents hard as a checkpoint reduced the 50-lane freeway to just 20 lanes.
Not only Beijing, but cities like Shanghai and Nanjing also witnessed horrific traffic jams.
According to China's National Tourism Administration estimates, between October 1 and 7 more than 750 million Chinese were on the move.
Where is that?
And then the left this.
And we got this.
I believe that is an image from the huge explosions that occurred a few months ago at a Chinese warehouse. It held all those volatile chemicals that reacted and sent massive fireballs into the night sky.
is that one side of a 80 lane highway???
We don't? You should get a look at my Sunpass activity statement some time.
