Ini dia ruas jalan di Naypyidaw yang memiliki 10 lajur untuk satu arah. Jika dijumlahkan dengan lajur arah sebaliknya, maka total ada 20 lajur. Hanya saja jalanan ini sangat sepi, terlihat bagaimana kontrasnya kondisi jalan yang lebar dan hanya dilntasi satu pemotor (Getty Images/Taylor Weidman)

NAYPYITAW, MYANMAR - DECEMBER 5 : Wide roads with very little traffic leading to the Parliament complex December 5, 2011 in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar. NayPyiTaw is the capitol city of Myanmar, formally in Yangon until the Burmese government created a new secluded capitol closed off from much of the world until recently. The pace of change in Myanmar brought U.S Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the country where she discussed further paths to reform and crucial talks with both Aung San Suu Kyi and the highest levels of the Burmese government. For many years Myanmar has suffered from economic stagnation, political repression and international isolation. In March the army handed power to a civilian government after almost five decades of the military regime's strong arm rule. The handover took place after a controlled election under a new constitution that preserved much of the military clout. Internet has been loosened up as previously inaccessible foreign news and opposition websites have been unblocked. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)

Kenapa jalan seluas ini hanya dilalui sangat sedikit kendaraan? Itu karena penduduk Naypyidaw memang sangat sedikit. Setelah ditunjuk jadi ibukota baru Myanmar pada 2005, tak banyak warga yang mau pindah ke kota ini. (Getty Images/Paula Bronstein)
