The adjective is a straightforward noun + -less formation meaning 'without traffic', which learners can derive from 'traffic' + '-less'.

Etymology

Trafficless is made of traffic ('movement of vehicles') and the ending -less ('without'), just like careless or homeless. So trafficless means a street or road that is 'without traffic', a quiet place with no cars.
