TrafficTraffic refers to the movement of vehicles and pedestrians along land routes, regulated by traffic laws and informal rules to ensure orderly flow. It encompasses various types of transport, including cars, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians, and relies on well-defined priorities, lanes, and traffic control mechanisms. The study of traffic and its organization often involves mathematical modeling to improve safety and efficiency, with disruptions leading to congestion and gridlock. Historically, the term "traffic" originated from trade and has evolved to primarily signify road traffic, though it also applies to other transport modes such as air and maritime traffic.
