Sunshine Delay: Slower traffic caused by bright sunlight. As rush hour morning traffic typically means travelling east towards the rising sun and evening traffic means travelling west towards the setting sun, delays can occur because of blinded drivers. (Thanks Richard R.!) [Source: Chicago vocabulary]
So, basically, traffic is delayed because the FREAKIN' SUN IS SHINING! Where are we that drivers are thrown for a loop by sunlight--SEATTLE?
