Heavy traffic and light traffic are opposites.
When there are a lot of vehicles on the road (for example, during the rush hour) and vehicles move very slowly, the traffic is heavy.
- I’m sorry, I’m late. The traffic was really heavy.
When there are not many vehicles on the road and they can move faster, the traffic is light.
- It’s better to leave very early. The traffic is light then.
