What is Traffic Escape?
Traffic Escape is a gridlock puzzle. Slide the jammed cars and trucks out of each other's way to free your vehicle and clear a path to the exit.
How to Play
Traffic Escape is a sliding-block traffic jam puzzle. Cars and trucks are packed onto a grid, each locked to its own row or column. Drag them back and forth to open a lane, then guide your car all the way to the exit on the edge of the board.
Vehicles never turn — a horizontal car only moves left and right, a vertical one only up and down. The puzzle is figuring out which blockers to shuffle, and in what order, so your escape route opens without creating a new jam.
Later levels add longer trucks, tighter grids, and move limits that reward the cleanest solution. Use Undo to rethink a move or Restart to reset the jam completely.

Tips and Tricks
- Find your exit first, then work out exactly which vehicles sit between your car and that gap.
- Long trucks are the hardest to reposition — plan their moves before you touch the small cars.
- Free up a whole empty lane early; it gives you room to park blockers out of the way.
- Fewer moves = a better score on later levels, so undo a sloppy slide instead of powering through.
