How is this even possible? 9 days?!

"Honey, I'll be home next week. I'm stuck in traffic"

I'll go out on a limb and guess that the trafic is moving but very slow and has been that way for 9 days. Its not like someone left for work 9 days ago and is still trying to get to the office.

Exactly.

62 miles. How would you react? When the GPS says no alternate route available, and has a big red never ending traffic line. Can you say road rage!!!! Also Every politician would be having someone's head in the Highway section.

I can't even imagine dealing with that mess.

If your a pot head thats one of those days you wake up hear the traffic report and you fire one up and say "F*^$ it, I ain't going to work today" as you take a hit.

That's what I'd do first ! Or leave early and make sure that I take something with me for the ride !

I could have just driven, but that wasn't how I wanted to do things.

idk about that. i heard on news radio that they are moving at 1/3 a mile per DAY!

that officials are trying to get food, water and security there and that the village people are selling food, etcon side of road.

i think people have been stuck in their vehicles this whole time.

Yup, that's China for you. Awful traffic, awful roads, air that shouldn't be breathed, little concern for genuine law. The food is great, the economy is improving, but otherwise the place is a mess.

Is Bejing inside or outside of 495?

Just read at lunch that people have actually been stuck in trafic for days now. It said that in one area that the trafic only moved 1 mile in 24 hours.
