Last month, a 100 Km (60 miles) long traffic jam was created on the Beijing-Tibet expressway.

The jam had entered its10th day when reports first broke out on international media on April 23, 2010.

Fortunately, the jam seemed to have been cleared by August 25, according to aYahoo report.

Other cities around the world face similar congestion headaches.

The 60 Km Beijing traffic was still not the record breaker.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records those dubious records belong to France and Germany.

Iraq imposed an indefinite curfew on two-wheelers and hand carts in Baghdad and its surrounds yesterday, as thousands of Shiite pilgrims headed to the shrine city of Karbala for a major festival.

A Displaced Sudanese woman from Darfur holds the hand of her daughter as she begs for money in the traffic jam of Khartoum on February 26, 2008. The deadly conflict in Darfur entered its sixth year today with no solution in sight as Khartoum continued to resist the full deployment of a peacekeeping force amid a fresh wave of bombings. The United Nations said earlier this week that new bombings were endangering thousands of lives in Darfur, seeking reassurances that more civilians would be allowed to flee to join the estimated 2.2 million already displaced by the conflict.
