Traffic circle

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 Poorly designed or outdated they are a recipe for disaster.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.

Stopping Traffic

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.

Psychological traffic

Being stuck in pockets of slow moving traffic for no apparent reason.

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

Sometimes during rush hour, I'll read the traffic twitter on some of the other cars to pass the time.
