How to use "Gridlocked" in context?
When it comes to cars and traffic, it can be difficult to tell the difference between a gridlock and a jam. But, generally speaking, a gridlock is a more severe situation, where traffic is moving very slowly or not at all. Jams, on the other hand, are more common and tend to happen when traffic is only slightly delayed. Here are some tips if you find yourself stuck in a gridlock:
1. Check the traffic conditions updates on your phone or the website of your local transportation authority. This will help you to better plan your route and avoid traffic congestion when possible.
