not moving

Staying in place

Staying in place, lacking motion or change in position.

Something not moving may be stationary by nature, temporarily at rest, or stuck: The car ahead of us wasn't moving.

The phrase often describes traffic or people who should be progressing but aren't: Why is this line not moving?
