The traffic is heavy

There is traffic and there is heavy traffic.

In my country, when people say it's traffic, they mean heavy traffic.

I found out from my high school English teacher that the proper term is "heavy traffic" when the vehicles crawl inch by grueling inch along a city street. She also told us that traffic means movement of something along a predetermined path to a destination or from a source. So when we say, "It's traffic," what we really mean is that the traffic heavy.

So, mga pinoy, matrapik talaga sa EDSA kasi maraming sasakyan ang dumadaan. Pag walang trapik sa kalsada, ibig sabihin nun (1) nasa probinsya ka at walang sasakyan kasi hatinggabi na o (2) nasa siyudad ka pero Biernes Santo kaya walang bumibyahe.
