The worst traffic jam in history

The worst traffic jams in history occurred on the Beijing-Tibet line in Paris, Houston, Sao Paulo, Brazil and China.

Paris, France, 1

1980, Paris, France, suffered a once-in-a-decade snowstorm, which greatly affected traffic. At that time, many people were driving on the road and suddenly encountered extreme weather, so everyone was trapped in the traffic. Everyone was stuck on the road for more than ten hours, and the traffic did not move. There is no food in the car because of the cold weather. Many car owners leave their cars on the road and get out of the traffic jam themselves in order to go home early. Later, the weather improved, and under the command of the traffic police, the road gradually returned to smooth.

2. Germany

1990, the Berlin Wall in Germany was knocked down, and many people rushed to the scene to watch. A large number of people poured in, causing vehicles to be stuck in the border area. At that time, many car owners were stuck on the road, and everyone witnessed this historic traffic jam. It is said that more than 200,000 cars were blocked on the road, and it took more than ten days to clear it.

At present, the roads in Germany are very smooth. In order to improve the efficiency of travel, there is no speed limit on highways, and news of traffic jams in Germany is rarely heard.

The traffic jam in Houston is also one of the most serious in the world. Every time I mention traffic jam, the first thing that comes to mind is this traffic jam. Traffic jams in Houston occur during the tourist season. There was something wrong with the circuit of the traffic system at that time. The owner didn't recognize the traffic lights, and the traffic order became very chaotic. Many tourists are blocked on the road.

4. Sao Paulo, Brazil

In 20 14, the world cup will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Many fans came to Sao Paulo to watch the opening ceremony of the World Cup, which caused the worst traffic jam in Brazilian history. The traffic jam mileage in Sao Paulo, Brazil reached 344 kilometers, and the roads were congested. This traffic jam also set a new record for previous traffic jams in Brazil.

5. China's Beijing-Tibet Line

The traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet line is one of the most serious traffic jams in China. On 20 10, a road was built next to the Beijing-Tibet line, and a large number of trucks poured into the Beijing-Tibet line. The sudden increase in traffic volume has caused great pressure on the Beijing-Tibet line, which has caused this big traffic jam. Most of the traffic jams this time are big trucks, and the start and stop of big trucks are very expensive. Many large truck drivers are unwilling to move in order to save fuel, which leads to more and more serious traffic jams.
