Long shutter speed + Crazy fast car = Light trail
Update:
I said "Crazy fast car" to see if someone will recognize that this car was not fast at all.
If we consider the light trail 20 meters in length and the time 3 seconds in duration then we have:
20m/3sec * 60sec/min * 60min/h * km/1000m = 24km/h
The conversion factor between km/h to mph is 0.6214 (1.6 the reverse), therefore we have a car traveling roughly at 14mph and that is not fast at all, in fact this car was anticipating to stop at the traffic light ahead.
Have a good day.

Nice shot ! What was the speed of that car ? The trail is maybe 10m long, in 3 seconds, that's over 60mph, downtown ?!

@Stan Pulsar: I would say the trail is rather 20m in length. But thanks for guessing.
Wow! That guy is travelling!
