Problems Of Increased Traffic On Chinese Road

On the Chinese road from Tong Mu there was a real log jam with vehicles queuing up behind us, and when I got out of the taxi to have a better look, the line of vehicles in front of us disappeared round a bend in the distance. People were getting out of the taxis, lorries and buses, to have a look for themselves with some going to sit upon nearby ridges alongside the Chinese road to smoke a cigarette or have a chat with others. New looking machinery on Chinese road in the country.On the road was the steam roller we had seen working at the junction, just four vehicles in front of us, so it seemed that resurfacing work was not the cause of this traffic jam. Traffic in 1995 had increased in substantial numbers since my first visit to China in 1987. In many ways, a narrow Chinese road, particularly in a rural area, is not able to cope with such an increase. I had a similar experience as this one when traveling with some friends in a minibus on a Chinese road, from Ping Xiang town towards a Chinese-Vietnamese border crossing.
