The meanings are pretty close. The only difference I can think of is usage: "traffic jam" is for sure more colloquial than "traffic congestion". According to Wikipedia, "a period of extreme traffic congestion is colloquially known as a traffic jam". More details at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_congestion |
