I would love to see a comparison to what it would look like if all those people would sit in busses or trams or something
What is it
Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, 50 lanes across
The expressway is not 50 lanes. This is probably a toll boot. You can see that you have way fewer lane after that or in the other direction.

Isn't this in China though? I don't think Ford or big oil have much sway over the Chinese government. They managed to come up with this monstrosity all without lobbying and industry pressure.
If you look at the location from like, a maps app or something, you can see that it starts at like 10 lane or something, widens, then goes back to the original lane size
