What is a "gridlock"?

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.

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.
