When, on a two-lane hiway, two cars travel side-by-side at the same (slow) speed, preventing cars from passing them.
No, I'm not going to stop tailgating. We've been stuck behind these traffic buddies going 35 in a 50 zone for ten minutes now.

When civil engineers and city planners talk about "traffic calming" they're really talking about "traffic crippling." Traffic crippling takes a flow of traffic. Rather than help motorists get from A-to-B as quickly as possible and leave the flow of traffic, they instead cripple the flow of traffic and frustrate motorists into
using alternative travel means (e.g. a bus). Traffic cripplers encourage air pollution by extending the period of any trip and raising the amount of pollutants created by any one motorist.

A firefighter, usually a volunteer, who shows up to scenes off duty and is completely useless. This is the firefighter who is so useless they are given simple tasks such as traffic control and they end up shutting down a highway as if they were just a traffic cone.
This term can also apply to other types of situations such as when the paramedics show up to someone's house and the traffic cone shows up and awkwardly stands in the corner of the room with his firefighter t-shirt and homemade denim shorts.

That traffic cone caused a traffic jam by just standing in the middle of the road.
We were trying to carry the patient out of the house on the cot but the traffic cone was standing in the doorway.

Having three girls on top of each other, and fucking the bottom girl, the middle girl, then the top girl, like the changing lights in a traffic light (green, yellow, red).
Guy 1: did he just come out of the same room those three girls were in?
Guy 2: yeah, he was traffic lighting them. I saw them still lying on top of each other when he left.

When you come to a stoplight and make the conscious decision to avoid getting behind a dumptruck or semi and opt for the lane with 10 vehicles instead of just two so you're sure to move sooner when the light turns green.
Oh no! I got stuck behind the tow truck at the red light. I need to brush up on my "Traffic Tetris" skills.

Court where traffic violations, especially speeding tickets, are heard. Often thought to be biased in favor of the police and against defendants. Possibly the highest volume court around.
