Onrush/overflow
Hi,
“Let’s say that I’m driving along the motorway and as I pass an entrance ramp, I notice that there are a lot of cars queueing up there.”
Can I say that:
“There was a real overflow of cars on the entrance ramp.”
I also found the word ‘onrush’, but I’ve never heard it used in a similar context.
Thank you.
