Definición

  • Traffic congestion can be understood as the process by which the number of vehicles on roads exceeds their capacity. Congestion can slow down or stop the flow of traffic altogether, leading to longer and more unpredictable travel times, as well as a host of economic, social, environmental, and infrastructural costs.
