August 16, 2026
In 2010, China's G110 road recorded the largest traffic jam in history, lasting 10 days. Traffic surged to 60% over the road's maximum capacity, creating a 100-kilometer queue. Drivers spent days in their vehicles, facing exhaustion and fuel theft. Maintenance work and increased traffic due to summer vacations contributed to the congestion. Ultimately, locals took advantage of the situation by selling essential goods to stranded drivers.
