So, you think your morning 401 commute in from Oshawa is bad, check out this 50-lane traffic jamb:

Not sure of the actual numbers but looks like 25 lanes going into 6.

50 sounds better in a headline...

china has lots of people, stands they have lots of cars, big roads, and lots of traffic jams....but will they take over the world?!

I counted 48 rows of vehicles. It's clearly some kind of toll booth or something though. It's not like they have 50 lane highways.

A jamb is part of a window or door frame.

It looks like 25 actual gates but lane splitting has the numbers up in the approaches. Is this now a lane splitting thread?

FWIW Google Chinese traffic jams, images. We're good.

A bicycle lane will fix that.

If you have ever been to China you would see that lane marking are just a suggestion the lines are probably under a row of cars

I support lane splitting! Toronto drivers may be too stupid to actually be able to allow it...but I support it.
