Gridlock is a situation where traffic is unable to move because the streets or intersections are so overcrowded. This often happens when vehicles block each other from moving forward, causing a standstill. Gridlock can occur during rush hours, accidents, or when there are too many vehicles on the road for the available lanes. It makes it difficult for drivers to get to their destination and can lead to delays and frustration. Managing traffic flow and reducing the number of vehicles can help prevent gridlock.
