ReconRat Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yup, it's in China, and it's now making a record. 10 days sitting in a 100km long traffic jam. It moves a few kilometers a day. Doesn't look good. Estimated to be messed up for weeks more. But I bet the bikes and scooters aren't stuck in that...http://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article592015.ecehttp://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129395326http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/asia/Thousands-of-Drivers-Jammed-in-Traffic-Near-Beijing-101347979.htmlIt even has it's own Wiki page already...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_China_National_Highway_110_traffic_jamhttp://www.thehindu.com/news/international/article592015.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 That's insane! Who's prepared to stay in their vehicle for 10 days, with still no end in site?? Hygiene, food, water, sleep, kids at home, etc?? It seems so stupid, it's hard to believe it's even true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrillo Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 No hygiene, food or water for 10 days? Sounds like China, traffic or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 The only other I can think of, was that huge snow storm in Germany. People were stranded on the roads for maybe three or so days.And the part of the story not spoken in China... all these vehicles were headed toward downtown Beijing. Which apparently has gone into gridlock itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Surprise! The traffic jam disappeared last night. And nobody knows how or why.http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gFrbz-o8lvciPrT34_DSeBbQSjxg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Surprise again! The Chinese mega traffic jam is back, on a different freeway.This one is smaller, about 1/3 the first one. Some estimates are gridlock within 5 years.http://www.asiaone.com/Motoring/News/Story/A1Story20100830-234637.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
