Answer:

Temporary road closure or coffee break

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume a car started on a trip at 08:00 and the graph below shows the total distance it travelled every half-hour.

We see that after 1 h (at 09:00) the car was a certain distance from the start.

A half-hour later (at 09:30) the car was still at the same distance.

The car was stopped.

There may have been a bad traffic accident that closed the road or the driver may have stopped for a quick cup of coffee.
