Like in real life and there's a limit of vehicles, etc. being able to use a road. Hence:

19.1.1 equipment density
Up to nine units may be grouped in any particular location, but in many cases this is a bad idea.
Each location has a specific al-lowed Equipment Density:

50 + 2 x Scenario physical scale

Scale Allowed Density
2.5km/hex 68
5km/hex 100
10km/hex 250
15km/hex 500
20km/hex 850
25km/hex 1300
50km/hex 5050

Any location with more than the allowed number of Vehicles
or Horse Teams suffers from traffic jams (increased movement
costs to enter). Any location with more than the allowed number
of “active defender” equipment suffers from increased losses in
the Event of combat.

Special Capabilities

- Police: The equipment reduces traffic congestion penalties at
its location

Thanks Klink, this is another important matter to take into account during TOAW battles.
