If there are enough cars on a highway, any minor disruption to the flow of traffic can cause a self-reinforcing chain reaction: one car brakes slightly, and the ones behind it brake just a bit more to avoid hitting it, with the braking eventually amplifying until it produces a wave of stopped or slowed traffic.
These waves are known as “traffic shockwaves” and are recognized as the sudden, substantial change in the state of the traffic flow, which acts as an active or moving bottleneck.
Even when cars leave this traffic wave, though, the wave itself doesn’t disappear: it gradually drifts backward, against the direction of traffic.
