I heard a while back it's actually the widest (in number of lanes) in the US but I can't remember if that's actually true anymore or not.

If you get them to expand 610 a bit too that would be very nice of you.

Okay I fact checked it and it is the widest in US but not the world. That's the Hong Kong - Macau expressway.

What I don't get is how there's like 80 lanes going one way and three (way on the left) going back the other way. I guess they change the lane directions based on demand?

If anyone knows how Chinese roads work please chime in!

I think all of the left half are going the other way, right? It's a bit of an optical illusion.

Oh no wait, I think you're right lol

it's just a 25 lane toll gate, the rest of the g4 expressway is like 4 lanes

Oh that's weird. All the toll gates I've seen (before it all went RFID/license plate based) had the same number of lanes as the freeway it was on.

No you didn't. Because it's a border checkpoint, not a toll.

Border checkpoints are infamously not crossable.

Yep, hence the congestion. You can see the secondary screening area over to the left in the second image Anon E posted.

@OP
