Is it possible to say that the deadlock in "The Southern Highway" is a metaphor for life in society?

We might consider the deadlock a metaphor because it closely connects to life in society.... deadlocks (traffic jams) are a part of most peoples' lives at one time or another, and particularly in modern times, people seek to utilize their time regardless of being stuck in traffic. Zoom calls, phone calls, ordering online, texting, listening to music or podcasts are common activities.
