In short, increased  traffic on the highway mixed with maintenance and construction.  Britain's Sky News reported the snarls have been commonplace since May  as a result of a spike in the number  of trucks using the roads, with the daily peak reaching about 17,000.  In this specific case, cars and trucks have been piling up since August  14, 2010 on the National Expressway 100, which is also known as the  G110, the major route from Beijing to Zhangjiakou.                           <img src="http://208.106.250.72/_media/imgs/articles2/a97173_g114_10-sao-paulo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A traffic jam in Sao Paulo,  Brazil.

One of them is frosty severe winter. Transportation  roads cannot work well because of black ice. The other problem is high  quantity of life and, as a result, possession of many vehicles. And  apparently, some streets must be reconstructed and broadened                           <img src="http://208.106.250.72/_media/imgs/articles2/a97173_g114_6-moto-taipei.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Car and Motorcycle jam in Taipei.                           <img src="http://208.106.250.72/_media/imgs/articles2/a97173_g114_7-pakistan-flood.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Vehicles are stuck in a traffic  jam caused by a demonstration held by flood-affected people demanding  that the government provide aid to flood victims in Nowshera, Pakistan. <img src="http://208.106.250.72/_media/imgs/articles2/a97173_g114_8-north-india.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Traffic jam caused by the celebration of the Diwali in North India                           <img src="http://208.106.250.72/_media/imgs/articles2/a97173_g114_9-patna.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Patna witnessed unprecedented  traffic jam in December 1, 2009, following protest rallies taken out by  different organizations in support of their demands.
