Traffic SNAFU at the western entrance of the Outer Ring Road Tunnel (外环隧道). Cell phone snap...
The 3 main reasons why this is "situation normal" are:
1. All the trucks who want to cross the Huangpu river must either go here or take the southern route over Xupu Bridge. The many (IIRC 15) river crossings (tunnels and bridges) and their respective access routes inside the limit of the Outer Ring Road are all closed for truck traffic. This leaves exactly 2 river crossings open to trucks.
2. Passenger cars with "out-of-town" license plates, such as that Toyota from Nantong in Jiangsu Province (苏F) right in front and the next car from Zhoukou in Henan (豫P), are prohibited from using the elevated roads in Shanghai, but nearly all the access ways to the downtown river crossings are - guess what - elevated roads.
3. The Outer Ring Road narrows from 4 lanes to only 3 lanes through the tunnel.

Recycling the Chinese way - these people do collect cartons (or styrofoam, or plastic bottles) and sell this stuff to a recycling yard.
Their vehicles are always overloaded - maximize the profit!
