A massive traffic jam in northern China spans for 100 kilometers and has cars moving little more than a kilometer per day. The traffic jam began on 14 August 2010 on a stretch of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou highway. The volume of traffic on the section has increased 40% every year. Now road construction works are clogging traffic even more, and the jam will continue until 17 September 2010. Drivers stranded in the gridlock in Inner Mongolia and Hebei province passed the time sleeping, walking around, or playing cards and chess. Local villagers were doing business selling instant noodles, boxed lunches, and snacks.
