You Think You're Stuck In Bad Traffic? Think Again

We all know how bad the traffic can be sometimes! 

But let's take a moment and spare a thought for these Chinese motorists who were all trying to get back to Beijing at the same time. As you’ll probably guess, it was chaos!

Unbelievable aerial footage was captured of the road, one of China’s busiest and widest highways, which was caused by a new checkpoint.

Fifty lanes were chopped down to 20 and so hundreds of thousands of Beijing residents were gridlocked for hours. Shanghai and Nanjing also saw serious congestion.

The reason for so many people on the road at one time was down to the Chinese National Day celebrations known as ‘Golden Week’. Tourism booms but people all return at the same time meaning sh*t like this traffic jam always happens.

It is estimated some 750 million Chinese people were on the move that week, half the population. 

So next time you’re stuck at a red light, take a minute and remember what these poor Chinese people had to go through.
