Shanghai traffic jam

When the train doors about to close on a crowded train and that very last second you scream at the top of your lungs "Shanghai Traffic jam" and squeeze yourself in the train.

John is such a gaijin smash by screaming Shanghai traffic jam in the morning on the Yamamote line.

Truman Show Traffic

When trying to get to your destination by car and every alternate route you try is jam-packed with bumper-to-bumper traffic, especially during rush-hour.

Boss: Why were you late this morning, Johnson?

Johnson: Truman Show Traffic, sir. I tried six different ways to get here, and each time I ran into heavy congestion.

Sussex County Traffic Jam

When you get stuck behind a tractor and/or lawn mower in Sussex County NJ while driving and its doing 5 MPH and won't get the out of the way. This is the most traffic you will see in Sussex, since any non-main roads (94, 206, 519, 15) are abandoned dead ends leading to open farm land, with small inbred peg legged fat children running around shooting rifles at small critters.

Bobby-Joe: "I was on my way home from Shop Rite with a case of Coors Light and got stuck in some bad traffic"

Jimmy: "Dang, At this hour?"

Bobby-Joe: "It was a Sussex County traffic jam"

traffic jam

The by-product of either rush hour or a lane closing as a result of a car accident or construction. Mainstreets and highways become choked with cars that are literally bumper to bumper. Like a bad storm, usually the only way out of a traffic jam is sitting through it.

Car lines and lane shields make getting off an exit a daunting game of chicken. Road rage is also pretty common.

There was a huge traffic jam on I-93 when some idiots collided into each other, causing two lane closures. It was backed up all the way to Quincy.

Cut off - traffic

Intentionally blocking a driver's access to his desired lane.

You are cut off - traffic -wise, when you notice that the lane you're in is slowing and the lane beside you is clear, you put on your blinker but the son-of-a-two-bit-thief-whore behind you accelerates and pulls around without signalling.

He has thus "cut you off" from your rightful place in traffic, since inevitably the cars behind him will follow his example and you are hopelessly stuck in the slower lane.

***This is not to be confused with purely idiotic driving. There are many situations where slower moving traffic moves into your lane ahead of you. This may cause you to be cut off by those behind you, but the act of getting in front of someone who is going faster than you is not so malicious as it is plain idiocy.

Please, use this term correctly. There is a special place in hell for people who intentionally cut off other people when clearly that person wanted to use the next lane as well.

traffic cop

A blunt force object (such as a hammer or crowbar), carried on a motorcycle, used to extract revenge. When a vehicle is driven too carelessly next to a rider, and they are subsequently almost run over, the "traffic cop" is withdrawn from its respective sheath, and used to smash the windshield of the offending party.

"I fitted the frame of my bike with a traffic cop. Ya know....Just in case."
