Traffic jams over 500km

17 December 2009

Snow brings traffic chaos, and this is not limited to Britain. Snow has been falling quite heavily in Belgium, and this has resulted in a series huge traffic jams, because some roads and lanes were closed. At one point, the total length of traffic jams amounted to over 500km, which is much longer than the distance between Brussels and Paris. Trains and flights have also been cancelled. With snow forecast for tomorrow, more chaos is likely to follow.
