I'm Teacher Mike and today we are talking about traffic.

Traffic is a noun that means vehicles moving on a road.

If you don't know what vehicles are,

vehicles are cars, buses, vans,

motorcycles, etc. So, if there are no vehicles on a road,

we can say that there is no traffic.

And if there are many vehicles on a road,

we can say that there is a lot of traffic.

When there is a lot of traffic and it cannot move,

or can only move very slowly,

we call this a traffic jam.

So today we are going to learn some different words

and phrases that we can use to talk about traffic and traffic jams.

When I drive places, I like to check the traffic before I leave.

I usually do this using Google Maps.

I do this because the amount of time that it takes to get somewhere depends on the traffic.

For example, taking my wife to work can take anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes,

depending on the traffic.

If there's not much traffic,

it usually takes just 5 minutes.

But if there's a lot of traffic,

it can take up to 15 minutes.

Now, I just said there's not much traffic and there's a lot of traffic.

Those are two ways that we can describe the amount of traffic on the road.

But let's also look at some other ways that we can describe the traffic.

If there's a lot of traffic,

and this affects how quickly we can get somewhere,

we often just say bad traffic or heavy traffic.

Because heavy and bad are adjectives,

we can put them before the word traffic.

Heavy traffic, bad traffic, or we can connect them with verb to be.

So, we can say, there's a lot of traffic.

There's heavy traffic.

There's bad traffic.

Or, the traffic is bad.

The traffic is heavy.

Is grammatically correct, but I don't think I would ever say that.

If there's not much traffic, we often use these.

There's not much traffic.

There's little traffic.

There's light traffic.

Or, the traffic's not bad traffic's not bad.

And if there are almost no vehicles at all on the road,

you can say, there's no traffic.

And yes, there are other things that you could say as well,

but I'm just trying to help you understand the basics right now.

In the beginning of this video,

I told you that when there's a lot of traffic and it can't move,

or can only move very slowly,

we call that a traffic jam.

So now we're going to look at some more ways to talk about traffic jams.

As you've probably noticed, traffic jam is a noun,

and it is an uncountable noun,

so we always say a traffic jam or traffic jams.

Lots of English learners want to say the traffic is jammed using jammed as an adjective.

And although that is grammatically correct,

I don't recommend saying it.

So here are some examples to help you better understand how we use traffic jam as a noun.

Traffic jams are very common in this city.

Or, this city has a lot of traffic jams.

I'm stuck in a traffic jam,

so I'm going to be a bit late.

There's a bad traffic jam around the intersection of 5th and Main.

Let's do a U-turn.

It looks like there's a traffic jam up ahead.

Also, when there is a very bad traffic jam and none of the vehicles are able to move at all,

we can say that the traffic is gridlocked.

This basically just means that no one can move in any direction.

Everyone is stuck.

You might also hear about bumper-to-bumper traffic.

The black things on the front and back of your car are called bumpers.

So bumper- to-bumper traffic means

that your bumpers are very close to the bumpers of the car in front of you and the car behind you.

Basically, it means that that traffic is moving very slowly.

Also, as you may know,

we often use the verb get to talk about change.

So when we talk about traffic conditions changing,

we also often use get.

Here are some examples.

The traffic usually gets pretty bad early in the evening.

The traffic is fine right now,

but it's going to get worse soon.

We might want to wait for the traffic to get better before we leave.

So yeah, those are the basics for talking about traffic.

If you have any other questions about traffic,

please feel free to let me know.

Thank you for watching!
