Description: Drivers tend not to realize they need to break far in advance of a traffic jam, which means they end up having to brake harder to avoid a collision. This strengthens the wave of braking from vehicle to vehicle. What’s more, drivers tend to accelerate too rapidly out of a slowdown, meaning they try to drive faster

You know, my Grandpop Finnegan used to have an expression: he used to say, 'Joey, the guy in Olyphant's out of work, it's an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law's out of work, it's a recession. When you're out of work, it's a depression.

American Politician

Pankaj Patel

We do see significant signs of a slowdown, in the economy worldwide.

Slowdown can imply broader impacts than just reduced speed, like delays in plans or progress.

Temporary State

When speaking about a slowdown in personal contexts, it can suggest disappointment or concern.

Emotional Tone

In business, a slowdown can be strategic to avoid overproduction or to recalibrate.

Indicator of Issues

In economics, slowdown refers to large-scale trends, not just individual companies or events.

Macro Perspective

An economic slowdown can precede a recession, but it doesn't always lead to one.

Precedes Downturn

Slowdowns can be specific to certain sectors like technology or manufacturing.

 that stole far more energy from his legs than the synthetic tracks of today. So I consulted biomechanics experts to find out how much slower it is to run on cinders than synthetic tracks, and their consensus that it's one and a half percent slower. So if you apply a one and a half percent slowdown conversion
