Not On My Rat Run: a person who opposes a particular traffic reduction project because it would impact the use of their car.
Used to describe a person or an attitude, NOMRR is an abbreviation for Not On My Rat Run. A NOMRR might agree that a their own street or neighborhood needs bollards to reduce traffic to make it safer, quieter, and less polluted, but doesn't want any placed on other nearby streets or neighborhoods because it would impact their car commute to work or drop their kids off at school. Similar to a NIMBY.

Although the city council data showed that the low-traffic neighborhood was a benefit to the community, the NOMRRs argued strongly against it so that they could continue to use the neighborhood as a shortcut on their commute by car.
