The makeup of Chinese traffic

China's traffic is a chaotic drifting from lane to lane of cars, sudden stops and loud horns, as many more Chinese people are able to afford cars. Additionally, traffic is made up of private limos driving around top-level company officers and diplomats. China also has buses of all different sizes and shapes, usually full of people. You will also see plenty of bikes, scooters, and motorbikes.
