Traffic Jams in China Traffic congestion is a serious problem in many major cities in China. With rapid urbanization and economic growth, the number of vehicles on the road has increased dramatically. Large cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou experience heavy traffic every day, causing long delays and frustration for commuters. The situation is worsened by limited public transportation in some areas and the growing number of private car owners. One of the worst traffic jams in China’s history occurred in August 2010 on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. This massive jam lasted for more than 10 days and stretched over 100 kilometers. Thousands of drivers were stuck on the highway, moving only a few kilometers per day. The cause of this extreme congestion was a combination of road construction and a high volume of trucks transporting goods into Beijing. To reduce traffic congestion, the Chinese government has implemented several measures.
These include expanding public transportation systems, restricting car usage through license plate lotteries, and building new roads and highways. Some cities have also introduced high fees for car registrations to discourage people from buying private vehicles. Despite these efforts, traffic jams remain a major challenge. Traffic congestion in China affects millions of people daily. It causes stress, wastes time, and increases pollution. Many experts believe that long-term solutions require better city planning, improved public transportation, and stricter regulations on car ownership. While some progress has been made, solving the traffic problem remains a difficult task for Chinese authorities. 26. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The history of Chinese highways B.
