Because you're still in a rush to get somewhere, even if your car isn't. In 1890 the average speed in downtown Victorian London with horse drawn carriages was 11 miles per hour. Today with modern automobile the average speed in downtown London is still 11 miles per hour.

A rush hour (or peak hour) is a part of the day with busy traffic and hence traffic congestion on the roads and crowded public transport; normally the two periods in a day when people are travelling to or from work or school.
Typically, rush hour lasts from 6-10 am (0600-1000) and from 3-7 pm (1500-1900) local time.

It`s a government form of mind control! Only joking! It`s called `rush hour` because of the enormous number of people heading for a particular destination at a particular time. I suppose it also motivates us to get to work on time because the majority of other people are doing the same thing and then naturally people get excited when work is finished and they want to get home. Cheers!
