The term gridlock is defined as "A state of severe road congestion arising when continuous queues of vehicles block an entire network of intersecting streets, bringing traffic in all directions to a complete standstill; a traffic jam of this kind. " The term originates from a situation possible in a grid plan where intersections are blocked, preventing vehicles from either moving forwards through the intersection or backing up to an upstream intersection.

  • Een verkeersinfarct of verkeerschaos is een uitdrukking voor een situatie waarin het verkeer dusdanig gehinderd is door niet-reguliere omstandigheden (weersomstandigheden, files door incidenten, etc. ) dat automobilisten nauwelijks vooruit kunnen komen, meestal veroorzaakt doordat weggebruikers elkaar indirect blokkeren (kop van de file sluit aan bij de staart van de file).
  • The term gridlock is defined as "A state of severe road congestion arising when continuous queues of vehicles block an entire network of intersecting streets, bringing traffic in all directions to a complete standstill; a traffic jam of this kind. " The term originates from a situation possible in a grid plan where intersections are blocked, preventing vehicles from either moving forwards through the intersection or backing up to an upstream intersection. The term gridlock is also widely used to describe high traffic congestion with minimal flow, whether or not a blocked grid system is involved. By extension, the term has been applied to situations in other fields where flow is stalled by excess demand, or in which competing interests prevent progress.
