An Impossible Road

This is the road of regional importance Syktyvkar-Ukhta-Pechora, a one-hundred kilometre sector between Odes and Irayol. Local people call this piece of the road the serpentine. At first the road is quite normal except solid turns and small pools. In a couple of dozens of miles pools become bigger, and it is hardly possible to go round them.

Amazing happenings-China traffic jam: 100 km long, 13 days old

Believe it or not: A traffic jam that's entered 13th day! Stretches 100km; may take as long as mid-Sept to clear.

Beijing: Baffled by the world's longest traffic jam, the Chinese government has mobilised hundreds of policemen to clear the 100-km long stretch of the Beijing-Tibet highway, riddled with vehicles for 13 days, with the pile-up almost reaching the outskirts of the capital. There have been no reports of road rage, and the main complaint has been about villagers on bicycles selling food and water at 10 times the normal price.

The snarl up on the highway, on a section that links the capital to the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia was triggered by road construction and repair. While all sorts of vehicles appeared to have been caught up in the jam, it was mostly caused by lengthy coal carrying trucks, which brings fuel for the industries around the capital.
