Are you traveling this holiday period and already trying to figure out a way to skip the dreaded traffic?
Spare a thought for the poor people in Bejing in August 2010 who were trapped in traffic for 12 days!
The longest traffic jam occurred in Beijing, China: August 2010. Imagine being trapped in a 62-mile long traffic jam that lasted for an incredible 12 days. That just what happened to the poor folks attempting to traverse the Beijing-Tibet expressways in August of 2010, for which the trip took as long as three days. Not caused by closure or natural disaster, this all-time tie-up cause was simply the result of too many vehicles clogging the road, particularly a bevy of heavy trucks carrying construction supplies into Beijing, ironically for road work that was intended to help ease congestion.
