A photo of a traffic jam in Beijing is being mischaracterized on social media as showing a Houston freeway.

By Tom Kertscher • June 22, 2023

Count the lanes in the image and it becomes clear that there are more than 26 there. That’s because this photo was taken in China. It the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, which boasted 50 lanes when that picture was snapped — not 26.a claim that it was the widest freeway in the world. Our conclusion: Katy Freeway, a Houston portion of Interstate 10, has 13 lanes at its widest . There’s a wider freeway in Canada, and, of course, the pictured behemoth Beijing.
