uncongested

Not blocked up

Uncongested describes something free from crowding or blockage.

Roads, airways, or spaces that are uncongested allow easy passage: We took the uncongested back roads to avoid traffic.

The word appears most often in transportation and medical contexts, where congestion—whether of vehicles or mucus—is the problem being avoided or resolved.
