BEIJING (Web Desk) - You might never complain about the morning rush hour again in your life after you see how thousands of cars in China were brought to an absolute halt at a toll booth in an epic traffic jam.

As many as 50-lane highway resembled a huge car park when almost half of China's 1.3 billion people returned to work after the National Day holiday, reports 9news.com.au.

After the long weekend away, this incredible bottleneck hit the residents hard as a checkpoint reduced the 50-lane freeway to just 20 lanes.

Not only Beijing, but cities like Shanghai and Nanjing also witnessed horrific traffic jams.

According to China's National Tourism Administration estimates, between October 1 and 7 more than 750 million Chinese were on the move.
