October 9, 2015 – Thousands of Chinese motorists who were on holiday found themselves in a massive 50-lane traffic jam on the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway yesterday.
After Golden Week, which is a seven-day break from work, city-dwellers were returning home from the week-long vacation, and many opted to do so by driving, eventually leading to perhaps the world’s biggest traffic jam, and the fact that the 50-lane traffic was shrunk to 20 lanes didn’t alleviate the situation.
According to the Telegraph, half of China’s population, which equates to 750 million people, traveled during Golden Week.
Check out the insane Chinese traffic jam in the footage below.
