Senescence refers to the gradual decline or deterioration of cells, tissues, or organs due to aging or environmental factors. In the context of traffic management, senescence can be applied to describe the congestion and slowdowns that occur when roads are closed or congested. By understanding this concept, we can better appreciate the importance of effective traffic planning and execution.
