  2. Traffic wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_wave

    Traffic waves travel backwards relative to the cars themselves. [1] Relative to a fixed spot on the road the wave can move with, or against the traffic, or even be stationary (when the wave moves away from the traffic with exactly the same speed as the traffic). Traffic waves are a type of traffic jam.
