Gridlock

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-002652

A condition of severe traffic congestion where the movement of vehicles is completely halted in all directions. This occurs when intersections become blocked by queuing traffic, preventing cross-traffic from proceeding even when its signal is green. Gridlock can be exacerbated by high traffic volumes and insufficient road capacity.
