A vehicular traffic phenomenon in which all lanes of traffic flowing in one direction drive the same speed and right next to each other, thus creating a wedge of traffic that is impossible to get through or around. Very common in urban centers of the state of Washington as well as Washington DC. It is exacerbated by the left lane Prius camper.
I couldn’t drive faster than the speed limit because of this washington wedge in front of me.

The washington wedges really slow down when it rains here in the Puget Sound.

The reason why drivers suck in the Northwest is because of the Washington Wedge and the Seattle Surrender.
