A massive traffic jam in China has slowed vehicles to a crawl for nine days near Beijing, local media say.
Vehicles, mostly lorries bound for Beijing, are in a queue for about 100km (62 miles) because of heavy traffic, road works and breakdowns.
The drivers have complained that locals were over-charging them for food and drink while they were stuck.
The situation has now "basically returned to normal," state television said on Monday.

I agree with you. This can also become problem for our country also. Traffic jam is something which make us feel as if we are in hell.Pollution, dust smoke, heat, tension, caous,agitation , & what not. We must step forward to reduce this problem on mass basis.
Nice collection Sajeetharan. Thanks!

I saw in the image.there was a traffic Jam and still the vehicles were in three lanes.(i.e one behind the other in respective lames only)
Had it been India ppl would have managed top to criss cross the lanes and make rows of 5 to 6 vehicles in the lanes meant for 3 vehicles.
1this would have compelled them to go down the street and manage for the shortcuts.

The foreign news help us solving similar problems faced by us. I notice that the traffic rush is more in morning and evening. By going to office a bit early and coming back a bit late, or in any way avoiding the busy hours by a few minutes, we can conveniently commute.
The Govt. should plan to restrict number of vehicles on road by discouraging personal transport and encouraging people to use public transport instead.
