17. Worst Traffic Jam Ever
There are way too many people in China and therefore way too many cars. In August of 2010 they had the biggest traffic jam ever along the Beijing-Tibet expressway. The jam stretched across 62 miles, lasted ten days, and took up to five days to traverse. Luckily there is an escape though. In China you can actually call someone to pick you up in a motorcycle and take you where you need to be. Meanwhile the pick-up service also provides someone to drive your car through the jam while you’re gone. Seems they’ve thought of everything. Even on walking trails there’s a separate lane for smartphone users to text as they clumsily walk.
