Back in 2010, a traffic jam to end all traffic jams occurred in China on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. Stretching over 60 miles, it lasted for about 10 days. I don't want to hear anybody complain about LA traffic ever again. Or you could all just take public transport.
See a photo of that jam, along with plenty more in this collection of fascinating photos to burn the midnight oil.
