Traffical

When you are driving and there is a lot of traffic around you, it is very traffical.

"When I was out driving at one a.m. this morning, there was no one else on the road. However, during rush hour it seems everyone is out going somewhere. It sure is traffical this morning.

Trafficway

A word that appears unique to Kansas City, used for some semi-major streets. To the best of my analysis, a trafficway appears to be a road that veers from the actual course of where the straight line street should be, e.g., 63rd Street Trafficway, 7th Street Trafficway. I have seen no other city that has a trafficway, and I think it is a very silly word. A freeway exit sign may abbreviate it as TFWY. How on earth would a visitor from another town (which interstate freeways are designed for) have a clue what that means?

Another example in Kansas City is the Southwest Trafficway, which actually lets people park in the right traffic lane during non-rush hour periods. Unbelievable! It was built in about 1948, and the 3 lanes each direction are not wide enough for modern day 3 lanes. Currently with a 35 mph speed limit, I propose reducing the lanes to 2 lanes (and maybe a bike lane), and raising the speed limit to 40 or 45. Same with Ward Parkway.

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.

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.

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.
