What would cause a 1997 Saturn SC1 to overheat when sitting in traffic and not overheat if moving on open road?
Low coolant level, or the cooling fan(s) are not energizing due to a bad fan motor, sensor, or relay- maybe even a broken wire. Engine coolant temperature sensor will cause that everytime... more likely than anything else because it only does it when stuck in traffic or stop sign to stop sign and not on open road.

The most likely culpret is a faulty radiator fan relay or a blown fuse. Fans are intended to force air through the radiator when the car is sitting still and reaches about 200 degrees F. If you turn your A/C on the fans should operate all the time. If the fans operate for A/C you may have a faulty temperature sensor.

It sounds as if the overheat sensor, or CD unit may be faulty. If the CD unit receives a signal from the overheat, or oil pump sensor ( if equipped ), the timing, or fireing will be affected, causing the engine to run at low RPM only, in an effort to save the powerhead.
