Concrete chicane keeps drivers on the curvy and narrow in China

The Not So Great Wall of China is about two-feet high and one-hundred serpentine feet long.<br /><br />We can't imagine what people were doing on this road to necessitate one-way traffic slowed to a crawl. Or maybe the authorities are just trying to protect the trees and fields from pilots like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/20/audi-r8-test-drive-ends-with-a-swim/">amphibious Audi R8 driver</a>, since there doesn't seem to be a mammal anywhere in the area. Or perhaps a new Olympic sport? If you have any better (more educated) ideas, please feel free to fill us in in the comments... <em>Thanks for the tip, Gabriel!</em><br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://news.nate.com/Service/news/ShellView.asp?ArticleID=2 008082010425634210&LinkID =1">Nate</a>]<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href=http://news.nate.com/Service/news/ShellView.asp?ArticleID=2 008082010425634210&LinkID =1>Read</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/concrete-chicane-keeps-drivers-on-the-curvy-and-narrow-in-china/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1290279/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/concrete-chicane-keeps-drivers-on-the-curvy-and-narrow-in-china/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
