BEIJING, CHINA; 28/10/2011. A driver is stuck in gridlock, in the North of Beijing, as drivers occupy any available part of the road. "The staggered working hours system Beijing has experimented with, in an effort to improve the city's traffic conditions is not working. There's problems in the city planning. Residential and commercial areas are too far apart" said Ye Limei, deputy director of the Urban Problems Institute of BASS, last week. © Olli Geibel -
