the traffic is slow / bad.

Hi, I'd like to ask you a question.
Do the following two sentences mean the same?

The traffic is slow.
The traffic is bad.

I guess both mean the traffic is crawling or something like that, but I'm not sure if I'm right.

They're not strictly the same, IMO.

bad traffic could mean any of: many vehicles, slowly-moving vehicles, many vehicles moving slowly, vehicles moving in strange, unexpected patterns
