vehicular traffic

Cars and trucks

Vehicular traffic is the movement of vehicles—cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles—along roads and highways.

The phrase appears in legal and regulatory contexts: The street is closed to vehicular traffic during the parade.

It distinguishes motor vehicle movement from pedestrian traffic or other forms of transportation.
