How would you translate
In this city it is normal that one gets stuck in traffic for hours.
I have problem with "get stuck in traffic":
In dieser Stadt ist es normal, dass man stundenlang im Traffic bleibt.
Is there a better, more direct way to translate?
The phrasing is actually closer than you expected.
In dieser Stadt ist es normal, dass man im Verkehr stecken bleibt.
Another very common way to say it is this:
..., dass man stundenlang im Stau steht.
But there are other versions too.
