Isabel, hoje eu estava no dentista lendo Veja e li a expressão "represar o trânsito", falando do trânsito em São Paulo. Lembrei desta pergunta. Portanto, uma outra idéia é falar "porque estava represando o trânsito". Eu, particularmente, não gosto de "acumular o trânsito", não me soa muito usual em pt-br. Veja google hits:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org....
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org....
Apenas 2 google hits para "acumular o trânsito" e muitos hits para "represar o trânsito".
Mas eu pessoalmente prefiro o uso de "engarrafar", para a situação:
