Carmageddon: This Is What 750 Million Chinese Hitting The Road Looks Like

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If you've ever complained about your commute, or the traffic jams on your way to vacation destinations, here is some context from China...

 

As RT reports, the carmageddon took place on the 2,273-kilometer Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway that links the cities of Beijing and Shenzhen in the Guangdong province, at the border with Hong Kong on Tuesday.

According to China's National Tourism Administration, more than 750 million Chinese were on the roads between October 1 and 7.

How this chinks can put bags of bolts and nuts for 10cents on the other side of the planet and still afford automobiles is a complete mistery to me

Looks more like a toll booth than a regular traffic jam. 

After that toll booth, a couple of dozen lanes merge back down to 5 or 6.  Happens all the time. 

Notice how in that far right hand lane, all the rich folks and upper level govt. operatives (sorry for the redundancy) get to cruise right past also those pitiful proles in the regular lanes?  We have such EZ-Pass Express lanes here in the USA, too.  I think all the communist countries have those.

How many got out and took a shit on the side of the road?

 

Plenty, I'm sure.

 

It's what the Chinese are famous for.

Wait a damn minute!  On car ads, the only car you see is the one being advertised, free and easy just cruising along unimpeded!  How would cars sell if you made ads with this clusterfuck, chinese fire drill?...

What a stupid design. Of course there are going to be big traffic jams when you have such a stupid design of 25 lanes at that toll section turning into what is probably a 5 or 6 lane road. It is mind boggling people can be so dumb to design such stupid shit like that.

So where are all the 18 wheelers? They have their own highway?

The still pictures have been "cleaned up" but the video, when showing "distant views" shows the real story not mentioned--the freaking horrible air polution over in China. Now, Mr Obama, just like smoke from burning oil wells during the first gulf war and volcanic ash is known to circle the globe, SO DOES THIS AIR POLUTION. So, when your NAZI EPA goes out and says we have unacceptable air quality and need to spend hundreds of billions to comply basically with your executive orders, please consider all this poison coming from China and give it a freaking rest !

Beijing and Shenzhen are in NE China.... Guangdong province, known in America as "Canton" is in the SE.

Um, I call bullshit on the number here.  Current Chinese population 1.4 bilion, so half the friggin population is on one road?

Hey ZH congrats into turning hype media like everyone else for monetary reasons.

These are BS visuals: the wide lanes only exist at the toll booth for faster processing times.
