Can I lose the police permanently?

No. Pursuit is a constant pressure that stops you from driving conservatively, which is the point. You manage the gap rather than escaping it.

Does the traffic move at a fixed speed?

No. Vehicles travel at different speeds, so gaps open and close continuously. Reading that movement is the main skill.

About Traffic Escape — 2D Highway Dodge

Traffic Escape is a highway dodging game with a pursuit layered on top, and the pursuit is what makes it more than a reaction test. You weave through dense traffic at speed while police close from behind, so you cannot simply find a safe lane and hold it. Playing defensively lets them catch you; playing aggressively puts you into traffic. The game is the negotiation between those two failure modes. Traffic is not uniform. Vehicles travel at different speeds, so gaps open and close continuously rather than sitting still, and a lane that looks clear may be closing because the car ahead is slower than you. Reading which gaps are widening rather than which are currently widest is the core skill, and it is the difference between a short run and a long one. Lane changes commit you for a moment, which means the decision has to be made before the gap is obviously there. Speed rises steadily, compressing your reaction time while the traffic density stays high, so late in a run you are making the same judgements with substantially less margin. Runs usually end on an ambitious overtake taken to stay ahead of the pursuit rather than on a gap misjudged in isolation.

Tips & Strategy

Watch the gaps that are opening, not the ones that are currently widest. A wide gap closing fast is a trap.
Commit to lane changes early. Hesitating mid-manoeuvre is worse than either staying or going.
Do not fixate on the car directly ahead. Look two vehicles further up so you can plan the second move.
Keep to the middle lanes when you can. Edge lanes halve your escape options when something appears suddenly.
