Chinese expect to have traffic jam cleared up by...

[David]

... September 17th. Today is day 10.

60 miles long, 3/4 of a mile/day... And all because the Chinese are fixing the traffic problems. Irony of the worst kind. :giggle:

That is pretty funny, although it must be hell for those who need to use that road.

Maybe we could send some L.A. traffic engineers over as humanitarian aid.

Last traffic jam I saw involved a farmer down the road stacking hay on the south-bound lane to make it easier to load on trucks. I guess the highway was a one-laner for nearly a week. Oh, and those dratted Amish buggies slow things down here now and then. I sure don't miss cities, or living near them.

Everyone knows asians can't drive... imagine a whole damn country full of chinese drivers sitting on phone books with blocks tied to their feet trying to drive on their cow path roads... geesh

How can you seriously say that Asians can't drive? If they manage to do it with their ridiculous infrastructure, I say they are pretty sound drivers. Imagine them on OUR roads...

On our roads, 2-hours is considered a bad traffic-jam.

It is a bad traffic jam.

Better then months. My pint is that the Chinese aren't better drivers.

I was responding to danstevens80's response to you.

You know who really can't drive? Texans. Spend a few months in the DFW area (where turn signals have not yet been discovered), and you'll agree. Portland, OR, ain't much better.

Sounds like a typical non-Texas trying to drive on my roads.
