The most common example of congestion is traffic congestion, when there are simply too many vehicles competing for the same road space. But congestion can also apply to many other products and services. Standing in a bank queue, postal delays during the Christmas period, or a slow water tap are all examples of a slowed or delayed output when demand exceeds available supply. In most activities, congestion is simply a consequence of the fact that it is too expensive or impractical to cater for the peak annual demand. Eight-lane roads are not constructed to cater for a rare peak period when a two-lane road suffices for most of the time, and even if the road were widened, other connecting roads would likely congest sooner.
