German term
Längsverkehr
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Automotive / Cars & Trucks
In Brandenburg waren Unfälle am Tage weitaus häufiger als nachts. Der Grund dafür ist, dass Pendler ihre Krafträder nicht nur in ihrer Freizeit, sondern auch zu Fahrten zum Arbeitsplatz benutzen. Die Unfallschwerpunkte waren zwischen Bundes- und Landestraßen ausgeglichen, obwohl in abgelegenen Regionen, wie zum Beispiel in der Prignitz, mehr Unfälle auf Landesstraßen passieren, weil diese Straßentypen dort häufiger vorkommen. An zweiter Stelle folgten Unfälle im ***Längsverkehr***, so etwa bei Überholmanövern.

in the (same) direction as traffic
google searches of Längsverkehr + traffic lead me to believe this is the case, but I'm not sure.

longitudinal traffic
"parallel traffic" sounds a little odd to me..... if you think about it, even oncoming traffic is parallel!
One term that I've come across quite a bit is "longitudinal traffic", which is used for example to describe accidents when one car bumps another from behind.

Example sentence:
"TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFRARED REMOTE-SENSING SYSTEMS FOR LONGITUDINAL TRAFFIC CONTROL HAVE BEEN STUDIED TO PREVENT REAR-END COLLISIONS AND BREAK-DOWNS IN TRAFFIC FLOW AND TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND CAPACITY OF TRAFFIC FLOW."
"Longitudinal traffic lane markings"
