The widest street in the world, 148 meters wide and 18 lanes in both directions, why is it getting more and more congested?
Nowadays, more and more people choose to travel by car. Not only can you stop and go, you can also see the unique architectural features and customs of each corner. In foreign countries, too, people prefer to drive their own private cars when traveling, because they feel that it is more free, convenient and fast. But we all encounter the same problem, which is the inevitable traffic jam in the city.
The bigger the city, the more congested it is, especially in the hot summer, the traffic jam alone will consume our good mood for a day. Wouldn't a wider road prevent traffic jams? Right in the Argentine city of Buenos Aires, there is one of the widest roads in the world. Let's take a look at the "widest" road in the world, 148 meters wide and still traffic jams, a real "city jam"!
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is green all year round. Because Argentines call themselves "Europeans who are not in Europe", the whole city is full of European style, whether high-rise buildings or cafes are exactly the same as European countries, known as "Paris of South America". Of course, even the roads are the same. There is one of the widest roads in the world, with a total length of 4.6 kilometers, a width of 148 meters, and a total of 18 lanes. In the beginning, it was very similar to the road on the Champs-Elysée in France, but later due to various traffic pressures, the road was built wider and wider until it is today.
Every building around this road is worth visiting. You will feel that your eyes can't see enough, like the famous building of Don Quixote, as well as the classical buildings representing Argentine culture and history, and the monument commemorating the 400th anniversary of the founding of Buenos Aires in the center. Both sides of the road are full of plane trees and kapok. If you are lucky, you can see the peach blossoms in the sky and the beige kapok complement each other, which is very beautiful and dreamy. The city is also known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world because of its beauty.
But tourists drive on the world's widest avenue, and the situation is not as good as imagined. Although it has 18 lanes, it is still very congested. You can not only see the staff holding billboards and propaganda back and forth on the main road, but also many people have started small businesses, one by one to sell drinking water and snacks, and we have high speed during the Spring Festival. Traffic jams on the highway are comparable. The "widest" road in the world, 148 meters wide, is still stuck with traffic, so it has an embarrassing title: a genuine "blocked city".
It seems that even if the road is built wider and wider, the problem of traffic jams is still a temporary solution. It not only aggravates the trouble of lane turning, but also increases various conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, and the trouble of parking spaces. Chinese people always complain on highways that traffic jams are so serious, why can't the highways be fully opened? Without a good sense of traffic, driving disorderly and orderly, no matter how wide the road is, it will not help.
