A hazard is anything that potentially makes driving unsafe. A load shifts on a dump truck and a board lands on the highway, creating a hazard to approaching motorists. The State is doing road work and the lane is marked with orange barrels, requiring drivers to slow down. A motorist blows a tire and pulls off onto the right berm but the rear bumper is not completely off the roadway. The list of potential hazards is endless.

Is traffic hazard and traffic problem is same?

They could be the same, but not always. To me, there's a slight difference.To me, a traffic hazard could mean there's something dangerous in the road, such as ice. Perhaps a truck has overturned and spilled oil onto the road, and so on.One example of a traffic problem could be very heavy traffic. At rush hour, when everyone is trying to get to work at the same time, just having many, many cars on the road at the same time slows everyone down. That causes a traffic problem.Other people might see this differently.

What is the use of hazard lights?

Ya think it might have something to do with warning about a hazard on the roadside? lol no really! actually they are what you put on to warn other drivers that YOU are a hazard on the roadside due to an accident or breakdown or stationary queueing traffic or any other danger, ie a hazard. In the UK, hazard lights should be used on single carriageway roads to warn other drivers that your vehicle is a hazard, on a dual carriageway or motorway, they should be used to warn other drivers of any hazard.
