Unless you are on 80 during rush hour and there has been an accident I do not see traffic standing still for that long, usually it moves but at 5mph pace. Although I did get caught there once, and I actually did shut down the car but we stood for over an hour in one place

I guess i just don't see traffic standing still for that long, and constant restarting of the car would get really annoying really fast.
