про́бка is used for these senses in English:

bottleneck (by extension) The part of a process that is too slow or cumbersome.
bung (obsolete, slang) A sharper or pickpocket.
clog A weight, such as a log or block of wood, attached to a person or animal to hinder motion.
congestion An excess of traffic; usually not a complete standstill of traffic, so usually not synonymous with traffic jam.
cork The phellem of the cork oak, used for making bottle stoppers, flotation devices, and insulation material.

fuse (electrical engineering) A device to prevent excessive overcurrent from overload or short circuit in an electrical circuit, containing a component that melts and interrupts the current when too high a load is passed through it.
gridlock On a smaller scale, the situation in which cars enter a signal-controlled intersection too late during the green light cycle, and are unable to clear the intersection (due to congestion in the next block) when the light turns red, thus blocking the cross traffic when it's their turn to go. Repeated at enough intersections, this phenomenon can lead to citywide gridlock.
