50 lane traffic jam in Beijing.
50 lane traffic jam in Beijing.
No, that “50 lane traffic jam” is at the the TOLL BOOTH deliberately created BY bureaucrats to make money for the government ... the traffic is backed up as the toll booth patrons try to merge again into a simple 4 lane bottleneck highway about 1/2mile down the highway PASt the toll booths.
The idea is good.
But, like the trolley cars riding tracks in city streets between 1890 and 1920, there MANY THOUSANDS OF NEW accidents as the old track-bound trollies run over people, cars, trucks, horses (then) and mis-parked/jammed/turning cars and trucks. Equally, often, the cars and trucks run into the track-bound trolley. Which THEN cannot move ANYWHERE until the accident gets cleared. So now the entire street is blocked until the cops clear the accident.
Geez I hate those 50 lane toll booths. Which one is the exact change lane?
That toll-booth picture: best advertisement for E-Z Pass ever!
As for the bus, they’ll need to build guard rails along the route, and have the buses’ edges run just outside them. That should cut down on accidents caused by panicked drivers underneath the buses suddenly swerving.
What I want to know is, how will the bus get under utility wires or traffic-light mast spans?
