Where I come from there are 3 distinct rush hour periods:
16:30 - 17:30 = pre-rush hour rush (also known as "I can't be bothered to stay at work anymore" rush hour)
17:30 - 19:00 = proper rush hour
19:00 - 20:00 = "people who waited to avoid the rush hour" rush hour

it should be called the Slow hour not the rush hour as i know everyone is in a rush to get home, but they won't and can't be in a rush to get home as all the traffic is at a feckin standstill as everyone leaves at the same feckin time so they're going to be late anyway so stop calling it the rush hour

It moves slower because people are rushing to get home. And because of it, there are more people on the road. Making traffic slower.

Ironic hey! Don't think it's referring to the speed in movement, but the speed that people are joining the traffic or might want to move! It should be called static hour!
