What is "through traffic"?
Through traffic refers to vehicles that pass through a specific area or road without stopping, typically on their way to another destination. These vehicles are not heading to or coming from locations in the area but are simply using the road as a route to get to another place. Through traffic is common on highways, major roads, or streets that connect different neighborhoods or regions. It can sometimes cause congestion in residential areas or smaller roads if not properly managed.
Examples
