When half of the Chinese population hits the road at the same time, an endless traffic jam seems inevitable - as thousands of Beijing motorists found out yesterday.

Aerial footage has captured the horrendous congestion on a motorway leading to the Chinese capital when holidaymakers made their return journey near the end of National Day celebration.







The congestion was caused by a new checkpoint at the other side of the toll, which reduced the width of the road from 50 to less than 20 lanes.

The shocking scenes were one of the many traffic nightmares across the country yesterday. Motorways in other major cities, such as Shanghai and Nanjing, also saw serious congestion.

This is a once off event and should not be used as a basis for future decisions.
