When you'd hear it

교통사고 is a neutral everyday term used in conversation, news reports, police or insurance situations, and workplace notices. It can describe anything from a minor collision to a serious road accident.

What learners get wrong

교통사고 means a traffic accident, while 교통체증 means traffic congestion or a jam. Use 교통사고 when a collision or other road accident has occurred, not simply when cars are moving slowly.
