Business/Commerce (general) / General;
English term or phrase: processed
Have you ever been in a traffic jam? Most of us have. Perhaps the traffic flows smoothly, until
a roadwork suddenly appears, forcing the three lanes into two. The traffic
slows down and people are late getting to work. In this example it is easy to understand
that flow is a good thing, probably because when we get stuck in traffic, we ourselves are
the ones being processed and we prefer flow.

Não entendi exatamente o que "processed" significa aqui. Obrigada desde já.

Pelo que vejo, o texto faz uma analogia do tráfego com um fluxo de processo.

em andamento/em marcha lento(a)


Explanation:
"... provavelmente porque quando ficamos presos no trânsito, damos connosco em andamento/marcha lento(a)/a avançar lentamente..." como que numa procissão.

É assim que entendo o verbo.

Fui pesquisar o nome em português e tem lógica (para mim, pelo menos, e vale o que vale), por isso adorei latim.

pro·ces·so |é|
(latim processus, -us, avanço, marcha, progressão)

"processo", in Dicionário Priberam da Língua Portuguesa [em linha], 2008-2013, https://www.priberam.pt/dlpo/processo [consultado em 24-02-2017].
