CONGESTION

is a severe form of traffic congestion where continuous queues of vehicles block an entire network of intersecting streets, preventing any vehicular movement in all directions.

This situation typically arises when vehicles enter an intersection on a green light but cannot clear it due to insufficient space on the other side, resulting in a complete standstill.

A

GRIDLOCK CONGESTION

54
Q

CONGESTION

refers to a point of congestion or restriction in a system that slows down or halts progress.

In the context of traffic, it specifically describes a section of road that becomes narrow or encounters an obstacle, leading to slower vehicle speeds, increased travel times, and potential traffic jams.

A

BOTTLENECK CONGESTION

55
Q

is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a sudden change in traffic conditions, resulting in a transition from one state of traffic flow to another.

this can be observed as waves of deceleration or acceleration that propagate through a line of vehicle often leading to congestion.
