What is a "bottleneck"?

A bottleneck refers to a section of the road where vehicles slow down or stop due to a buildup, usually because the road narrows or there is an obstacle. This happens when there are more vehicles trying to pass through a limited space, causing delays and long lines of traffic. Common places for bottlenecks include areas with construction, accidents, or exits that only have one lane. Bottlenecks can lead to traffic jams and make travel times longer.

What is a "fender-bender"?

A fender-bender is a minor car accident, usually involving a small collision between vehicles at low speeds. It often results in little damage, mostly to the fenders or bumpers of the cars involved. These accidents are typically not serious and may not cause injuries, but drivers still need to exchange information for insurance purposes and may file claims for repairs. Fender-benders commonly happen in places like parking lots or traffic jams.

What is "rush hour"?

Rush hour is the period of the day when there is a high volume of people traveling to or from work, school, or other activities. This typically happens in the early morning and late afternoon or evening, when traffic on the roads, buses, and trains is at its busiest. During rush hour, public transportation services and roadways can become crowded, leading to longer travel times. It is a common challenge in cities where many people rely on public transport or cars for their daily commutes.
