The Rush Hour Lasts 9 days…
Over 10,000 vehicles are stuck in a traffic jam on a highway between Tibet and Beijing… again.
Traffic on this particular highway was cleared just over a week ago following a 9 day, 100km long gridlock. This time, the standstill is estimated to be about 120kms long.
The massive backlog of vehicles is largely due to the needs of Beijing’s population of 20 million. Constant supplies of food, consumer goods and coal are required to keep the city running properly. Combine the flow of those deliveries with a little bit of roadwork and you have yourself a parking lot.
