15. The longest traffic jam in history lasted for 12 days
In August 2010, a traffic jam on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway in China stretched for over 62 miles and lasted for 12 days.
It was caused by a combination of road construction, accidents, and increased freight traffic.
The traffic was so severe that some drivers were stuck for 5 days without moving their vehicles.
This incident even led to a small economy in the area, with vendors selling food, water, and other necessities to the stranded drivers.
