Rat running, also known as cut-through driving or a traffic shortcut, is the practice by motorists of using residential side streets or any unintended short cut such as a parking lot, delivery service lane or cemetery road instead of the intended main road in urban or suburban areas. Traffic shortcuts involve using alternative public routes or traversing private property, such as service stations or shopping centre car parks, to reduce travel time.
