The appropriate phase describing this scenario is "Bottlenecking".
A bottleneck is a phenomenon where the performance or capacity of an entire system is limited by a single or limited number of components or resources.
Bottleneck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The context for me is more outdoors....specifically landscaping jobs I am working on where traffic flow and logistics are key to efficiency. "Excuse me.....would it be possible for you to pull your vehicle up and over to one side so you do not bottleneck the driveway?"
Now I also experience this inefficient behaviour in grocery stores - just tonight in fact I experienced it...
