Here's a visual reminder that no matter how bad traffic gets around the Twin Cities it could be worse.
Much, much worse.
Video and images show the nightmare on China's G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway during the country's Golden Week holiday at the start of October. Yahoo reports the highway is the main route for cross-country travelers in the eastern part of China where most of the country's 1.36 billion people live.
At one point, 50 lanes of traffic are forced to bottleneck down to fewer than 20 lanes at one checkpoint outside Beijing.
Drivers were reportedly stuck in a 10-hour traffic jam.
