I thought traffic jams in my city were bad.

\"A traffic jam stretching more than 60 miles in China has entered its ninth day with no end in sight, state media reported.\"

Reminds me of the opening scene to that Michael Douglas film, Falling Down.

Big fan of it. My favorite bits are the text on the street signs that Foster passes.

It seems the cause is the large amount of large trucks driving on it to transport goods and products. Why don't they build a rail system for all that?

Why don't the trucks just fly?
