Is it Two Hour Traffic
or
Two Hours' Traffic?

We should look up the original Shakespeare. And if it's the second one, we
should make sure we always include that apostophe after "hours." For my
sanity. Especially in any long-term graphic design projects. Like a logo. Or
a website.

Regardless of what it's printed as could we go with Two Hours' Traffic. Besides the fact it would often be printed wrong (Two Hour's Traffic) it gives me less of a feeling of sitting in rush hour trying to get to work or home. Two Hour Traffic means that to me, it means that you're screwed to make it on time and will be pissed when you get there. But then again that's what's around me.
