patently Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/china/11919370/Worlds-worst-traffic-jam-Thousands-of-cars-left-stranded-on-motorway-in-China.html Thousands of motorists near a toll station in Beijing were left going nowhere fast as people returned home at the end of the week-long National Day holiday. The nightmare bottleneck was reportedly caused by the combination of a new checkpoint, which sharply reduced the amount of lanes on the motorway from an estimated 50 to 20, and foggy weather.
