An area of congestion in traffic (10)

I believe the answer is:

bottleneck

(Other definitions for bottleneck that I've seen before include "Traffic jam" , "Traffic constriction" , "in which jam is concentrated?" , "Constricted place" , "tight situation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
