I live in a remote area and WFH. For me, a traffic jam is when farm equipment enters the road, or occasionally when there is roadwork.

I've seen as many as five cars lined up waiting in those circumstances!

My commute followed the oposite of rush hour. I lived in the city and would commute out to a smaller town for work, whereas most people in that town commute to the city. So i was always going against the flow of heavy traffic. I recently moved to the small town and for the most part avoid the traffic except at the end of my day when i sometimes have to make a left across the flow of rush hour evening traffic to get back home. There are very few traffic lights on that stretch so sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes to have a safe gap in the traffic.
