Chinese respondents are as concerned about infrastructure and road conditions as they are relaxed about the subject of costs. In China, the annoying search for a parking space throws one in four off balance, while one in five is sometimes concerned about the difficult road layout. In neighboring Russia, an aspiring car nation, like China, they at least share the worry about the shortage of parking spaces, and this is a sticking point for 24% of Russian drivers. However, they regard the biggest challenge as the road itself and for 42% of Russians, being stuck in traffic is a topic that ranks as a worry. Seemingly, road planners have not quite managed to keep up with the rapidly growing volume of traffic in the country, leading to an almost 200 kilometer-long mega traffic jam between Moscow and St. Petersburg in 2012.
