A roadway intersection where the roads don't directly cross (like at a stoplight) but enter/exit on a circular road. When well designed it is very superior to a normal intersection, but prone to confuse people who learned to drive in a place without them. Poorly designed or outdated they are a recipe for disaster.
If you live in New Jersey, but don't know what a traffic circle is, you're living an unbelievably sheltered life.
When correctly designed, you should always yield when entering the circle, but never when in the circle.

Get the Traffic lightingmug. An idiom that refers to a very attractive person. In most contexts, the negation of the word is used, usually to pin down someone who is moderately attractive but nothing mindblowing (see example)
Yeah man, she’s pretty cute. I mean she’s not stopping traffic or anything, but she’s definitely easy on the eyes.

Get the Stopping Trafficmug. A grouping of vehicles (usually driving on a motorway) that has become 'stuck' precisely at the speed limit due to the presence of a police car travelling on the same road.
Whilst stuck in Panda-traffic, motorists' behaviour changes significantly, mainly due to temporarily no longer being able to break the speed limit. Motorists also become stuck in their lanes and generally behave more courteously compared with 'normal' traffic conditions (ie no police companion).
Journeys that incorporate a Panda-traffic encounter usually last significantly longer than they otherwise would.
Once the Police car has exited the motorway, normal driving conditions resume immediately.

Get the Panda-trafficmug. I thought there was an accident on the road but there was nothing going on - so it must have been psychological traffic.

Get the Psychological trafficmug. Logan: I was with Jordyn last night and we fucked 10 times.
Billy: Like consecutive or what?
Logan: Nah, we fucked and stopped and then fucked again...10 times.
Billy: Damn, that’s crazy. Call that Traffic Fuck

Get the Traffic Fuckmug. (n.) Pejorative slang for bumper stickers, particularly those of a political nature. Coined by popular political and social commentator Jon Oliver.
Sometimes during rush hour, I'll read the traffic twitter on some of the other cars to pass the time.
