A Traffic Jam
The term "traffic jam" is generally considered countable because you can have one traffic jam, two traffic jams, and so on. Each occurrence of a traffic jam can be counted individually. However, when referring to traffic congestion in general, it might be used in an uncountable sense, but this is less common.
One car can cause it.
