高峰时间, 交通高峰期
a time of day at which traffic is the heaviest because people are leaving for work or home
Rush hour is the period of the day when there is a high volume of people traveling to or from work, school, or other activities. This typically happens in the early morning and late afternoon or evening, when traffic on the roads, buses, and trains is at its busiest. During rush hour, public transportation services and roadways can become crowded, leading to longer travel times. It is a common challenge in cities where many people rely on public transport or cars for their daily commutes.
