You're not blocking it, you are passing through it. The phrase you quote was intended for urban traffic where drivers pull straight thru to the end of a back up that leaves them in the intersection when the light changes, thus creating gridlock. You have to experience it in Midtown Manhattan to have full appreciation of the effect.
