The way your question is worded, I think you've confused a couple of different terms. First, you will often hear people say that they want to beat, no meet, the 5:00 rush. That means they want to avoid the congestion that occurs in a city when everyone gets off work at the same time, and traffic becomes very heavy and slow with people all trying to get home. The other thing you hear is someone saying something like, we've reached the 11th hour. What that means is that the dead line for making a decision or taking some action on a matter is about to be reached.

Ive heard of a similiar saying, but I think it means near the end, the rush near the end, or before time runs out.
