Definition: Pedestrians or vehicles on roads, or the flux or passage thereof.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
That’s a wonderfully precise definition from the dictionary, isn’t it? Let’s break it down piece by piece. “Traffic” – it's more than just a word you see on your drive.
Think of it this way:
“Pedestrians or vehicles…”
That covers all the moving parts - cars, trucks, buses, bikes, even people walking! We’re talking about anything traveling along a road.
Then we have
“…on roads…”
– meaning these things are using pathways built for transportation.
And finally,
“or the flux or passage thereof.”
Now this is where it gets a little trickier, but very important! “Flux” means a continuous flow, like water flowing down a stream. "Passage" refers to movement and travel. So, "the flux or passage thereof" simply means
the act of moving
– the way things are
going
along the road. It’s about the constant movement and how it all works together.
So, “traffic” is basically the
movement
of people and vehicles on a road. It's the flow, the rush, the hustle and bustle!
Do you have any questions about that? Let's discuss!
