I believe that friends who live in more developed cities have a deep understanding. There are too many people in big cities, especially during the rush hour, and it takes two or three times to squeeze the bus and subway. Especially when taking the bus, the roads are not smooth and there are many vehicles. When will more roads be built to ease the traffic. But don't think that the road is wide, the traffic will be open. Today, the editor is going to introduce the "widest" street in the world, with a total of 18 lanes. Why is it still crowded?

9th of July Avenue

July 9th Avenue is the widest street in the world. It is located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It has a history of more than 200 years. The history behind it is even more intriguing. The name of this street is also very simple, mainly to commemorate Argentina's end of Spain's colonial rule for hundreds of years since the 16th century in 1816, so this road is of great significance to Argentina.

July 9th Avenue is currently the widest street in the world, with a total length of 4.6 kilometers and a street width of 148 meters. There are as many as 16 lanes alone. Like many roads, this road also has traffic lights, sidewalks, round-trip lanes, and green belts. Each lane performs its own duties, the well water does not violate the river water, it is very regular, whether it is walking or driving, it is orderly and very convenient. It's just that the road is too wide, and there is still more than 100 meters to cross the road, plus the time for traffic lights, so it will take time to compare prices. Many people walk once and don't want to walk a second time.

historical

July 9th Avenue is not only a street for vehicles, but also a famous local tourist attraction. Because in addition to this street, there are many famous buildings around. Such as the one built to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the founding of Buenos Aires. Not only the landmark, but also a building where Argentine First Lady Eva Veron once worked. With so many symbolic buildings and celebrity effects, there are naturally many people who come to visit.

As the widest street in the world, and there are not many people in Argentina, it stands to reason that there should be a lot of vacancies on July 9th Avenue. But if you have lived here, you will find that every day, this street is almost blocked by traffic, and it is rarely possible to drive smoothly. This scene is not only the widest, but also the most congested street. So the irony is that this is the "widest" street in the world, with 18 lanes in total, and it's still crowded, understandable now?

While building wider streets can temporarily alleviate the problem of traffic congestion, building wider roads does not guarantee the fact that more people are buying cars. Moreover, there are many green belts on the streets, so there are very few places that can accommodate cars every day. Once there are more lanes, there will be more turnings, which will easily cause traffic jams. Especially during peak hours, there are so many vehicles that there is almost no place to park. So if you want to alleviate this problem, you should not only start from widening the road, but also control it from the purchase of vehicles.
