Traffic Jam in Beijing, Super Rush Hour!

A 60-mile-long traffic jam on a major Beijing highway lasted more than nine days, with stranded drivers taking to playing chess on their cars as local vendors organize roadside shops like in a Cortázar short story. Increased traffic on the highway mixed with maintenance and construction led to this....

It has been reported that the snarls have been common since May as a result of a spike in the number of trucks using the roads, with the daily peak reaching about 17,000. In this specific case, cars and trucks have been piling up since August 14, 2010 on the National Expressway 100, which is also known as the G110, the major route from Beijing to Zhangjiakou.And i used to think Bongo was hectic coz of our Narrow roads...Damn., i guess it all depends on the number of cars, lookie here..big  wider roads more traffic.

60 miles, 9 days, wat the hell do u say when u reach whereever( work, school, lover,home) you were going..i was stranded in traffic? For 9 days? i fear no one might believe it...and i used to complain about Bongo Traffic Jams, some people have it worse!
