What is Chasing traffic
How far can you push your luck on a road that never gives you a break? Chasing Traffic is a pure test of nerve and timing in a constant stream of moving metal.
How to Play
Control your car with arrow keys or on-screen buttons to steer between lanes and avoid collisions. Keep moving forward and earn points for each vehicle you safely pass.
Tips for Playing
- Anticipate two moves ahead, not just what's in front of you.
- Use the shoulder of the road for a quick breather during tight spots.
- Slam the brakes only when a crash is imminent—it breaks your speed streak.
- Watch for gaps between slower cars to zip through safely.
- Stay mid-lane when traffic is sparse to avoid getting boxed in.
